Review:
“[A] useful and different book offering insights on the storied decade of the 1960s. ... A narrative timeline provides a valuable overview of people and events. ... an invigorating and hopeful book.”
―Library Journal
From The Sixties at 40:
“I was not governed completely by ideology, I was governed by experience ... and my experiences were contradictory.”
―Tom Hayden
“To a very great extent I would call the project of the sixties a democratization project. It’s still an ongoing and viable living practice in the U.S. and in other parts of the world.”
―Richard Flacks
“I don’t talk about myself as a Leftist, because we’re not a factor. We are not a political entity. I’m a union activist, I’m an environmental activist, a peace activist, but I wouldn’t say there is a Left.”
―Mark Rudd
“Obama’s campaign was a movement campaign, an insurgency―in large measure the product of a popular mobilization, passionate and well-organized, cross-demographic, the best of amateur politics harnessed to professional party intelligence.”
―Todd Gitlin
“The extent to which the Left is able to ... hold Barack Obama accountable to a peace and justice agenda is the extent to which we move closer to a more democratic society and a more peaceful global existence.”
―Fran Beal
“The main thing I took from Camus was the idea that in this struggle for human betterment you had to walk a fine line so that you were neither a victim nor an executioner. And that, really, was very helpful going through all of the different twists and turns of the movement in the sixties.”
―Robert Moses
