Synopsis:

America's Uncivil Wars captures the broad sweep of this tumultuous era, analyzing both the cultural and political influences on the movements of the 1960s.

Review: "This is a very well-written and engaging book, which deftly synthesizes much of the scholarship on the 1960s. Its virtues are its breadth, its cogency, and its ability to make this turbulent time come alive in all sorts of ways." ―Ed Linenthal, author of The Unfinished Bombing: Oklahoma City in American Memory

"This book is pure narrative history. It moves forward relentlessly, omnivorously, in torrents of precise and well-paced prose. It should be viewed, primarily, as a newsreel, a Bayeaux Tapestry, a mural in some palace of memory. The fundamental success of this book is Lytle's ability to zero in on the significant events, to place them in their proper context, and to tell his story as vividly as possible."―Kevin Starr, University of Southern California
