Synopsis
Jeff Greenfield, Syndicated "An extraordinary blend of vivid recollection and brilliant, relentlessly honest analysis. It ought to be the bench mark against wich all future accounts of 'the movement' will be measured." Carl Oglesby, Former President, Students for a Democratic "The Sixties... has the narrative power of a fine novel and is at the same time a cogent work of historical analysis. In the first book about the Movement to be written by one of its leaders, Todd Gitlin brings together the seemingly diverse themes of that decade - civil rights, the Vietnam War, women's liberation, the revolution in Western culture - and shows how they came together to produce an experience unprecedented in American life. Gitlin's command of these themes is unexcelled; his ability to make the period live again, from tear gas to rock and roll, is masterful."
