Witness to the revolution : radicals, resisters, vets, hippies, and the year America lost its mind and found its soul
Bingham, Clara2016
Books, Manuscripts
A riveting story of America in the turbulent year when the sixties ended and the nation teetered on the edge of revolution. As the 1960s drew to a close, the United States was coming apart at the seams. The American death toll in Vietnam was approaching fifty thousand, and the ascendant counterculture was challenging nearly every aspect of American society - from work, family, and capitalism to sex, science, and gender relations. 'Witness to the Revolution', Clara Bingham's unique oral history of that tumultuous time, unveils anew that moment when America careened to the brink of a civil war at home, as it fought a long, futile war abroad.
