#hardcover#history#americanhistory#sixties#civilrights#nixon#kennedy#lbj#politics#vietnam Missing dust jacket but overall good vintage condition. No spine damage. Pages are clean with no marks or page folds. First edition, 3rd printing, copyright 1971. "An immensely readable book that combines wit with learning and seriousness with entertainment. It's emphasis is inevitably on politics but it offers a brilliant yet balanced portrayal of the New Left, the counterculture, the civil rights movement, the plunge into Vietnam, the crisis in the universities, and the freakier aspects of the popular culture. It has endured as one of the great interpretation s of the sixties."
