Description
The sixties, broadly conceived as encompassing the years from the midfifties through the early seventies, was an extraordinary period in American history, a time when an unprecedented number of people sought to transform their society.... [The book] attempts to comprehend and explain this highly complex and still-controversial era.... [The author's] goal in appraising America in the 1960s is to synthesize: to integrate [his] own primary research over the past twenty years with the best of the new social history as well as with the more customary political, economic, diplomatic, and intellectual histories. This approach, both interdisciplinary and analytical, aims to create a holistic account that makes comprehensible the issues, conflicts, and human struggles of this period. -Pref.
