The 60s Experience Hard Lessons about Modern America

Empathy on 1960s It is well descibed book on 1960's. The professor at Lehigh University who was actually the core of the movement describes his generation from his own view, from micro level to macro level, from small demonstrations to nation-wide movement. This book is one of the most important books about sixties to understand the deepest thoughts, desires, and needs of people who participated civil rights movemen, anti-war movement, and other movements. I also found the ideological conflict between those young people and policy makers of sixties, which you will never see on any TV program, movies, newspaper articles, and other mainstream media. I now understand the cause of the movement, cause of disastar, cause of counter culture, and polarization that still exist in this country. I can say without exaggeration that without reading this book, you will not understand the importance and impact that the generation of 60s brought to today's society.
