The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage Paperback - 1993
by Todd Gitlin
With verve and brilliance, Gitlin vividly brings to life the years when an entire generation revelled in its power to shape history and society, as the New Left emerged from the disaffection of the '50s to take a powerful stand in the activism and violent upheavals of the '60s. Completely updated.
First line
Groping for a sense of the zeitgeist has been an intellectual stock-in-trade since the ancient Greek thinkers, who discovered they were living in history.
From the jacket flap
Say "the Sixties" and the images start coming, images of a time when all authority was defied and millions of young Americans thought they could change the world--either through music, drugs, and universal love or by "putting their bodies on the line" against injustice and war.
Todd Gitlin, the highly regarded writer, media critic, and professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, has written an authoritative and compelling account of this supercharged decade--a decade he helped shape as an early president of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and an organizer of the first national demonstration against the Vietnam war. Part critical history, part personal memoir, part celebration, and part meditation, this critically acclaimed work resurrects a generation on all its glory and tragedy.
