Subjects: Social conditions, United states, politics and government, 1963-1969, United states, politics and government, 1961-1963, Social movements, United states, history, 1961-1969, Radicalism, United states, politics and government, 1969-1974

Description: The turbulent decade of the 1960s has been analyzed and interpreted by numerous journalists and scholars. The former movement leaders, Judith Albert and Stewart Albert "tell it like it was", presenting material generated by the social protest movements. Challenging the prevailing view that the decade failed to produce influential enduring ideas, the authors demonstrate that the new left and counterculture produced a coherent body of critical thought about the nature of American society.
