About this title

Synopsis

Daniels (history, U. of Vermont) interprets the conflicts of 1968 as more cultural than political. He offers thorough and balanced description of such events as the Tet offensive, the Paris uprising, the King assassination, the Haight-Ashbury counterculture, the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and the Soviet occupation of Prague.

Review

Daniels has written one of the best general surveys of the revolts of the 1960s...It is intriguing that Daniels predicted, before any of the recent upheavals in China or Eastern Europe had occurred, that this agenda would stir a new wave of revolutionary movement into the 1990s that would take up where the last cycle had left off, with the issues of equality in face-to-face relations, and in those surrounding the environmental crisis..."Year of the Heroic Guerrilla" is a lucidly written account.--Paul Costello "Canadian Journal of History " An altogether engaging analysis of what was arguably the world's most politically tumultuous year since the end of the Second World War.--Steve Weingartner "Booklist " "Year of the Heroic Guerrilla" is one of the first works I would recommend to anyone who is freshly coming to this topic.--Paul Berman "New Leader "
