Books like Berkeley at war, the 1960s by W. J. Rorabaugh

The author, a radical and political prisoner, recounts her journey from the impassioned idealism of the 1960s to her thirteen-year imprisonment, during which she suffered dehumanizing treatment combined with rare moments of grace and solidarity.

An oral history of the late 1960s that captures the voices of activists, organizers, students and veterans during the Vietnam War era, detailing protests, campus strife, and the turbulent social movements that shook American society.

It began in 1960 with the Greensboro sit-ins. By 1973, when a few Native Americans rebelled at Wounded Knee and the U.S. Army came home from Vietnam, it was over. In between came Freedom Rides, Port Huron, the Mississippi Summer, Berkeley, Selma, Vietnam, the Summer of Love, Black Power, the Chicago Convention, hippies, Brown Power, and Women's Liberation - The Movement - in an era that became known as The Sixties. Why did millions of citizens take to the streets and become activists, and what impact did they have on America? These are questions Terry H. Anderson explores in The Movement and The Sixties, a searching history of the social activism that defined a generation of young Americans and that called into question the very nature of "America." Drawing on interviews, "underground" manuscripts collected at campuses and archives throughout the nation, and many popular accounts, Anderson begins with Greensboro and reveals how one event built upon another and exploded into the kaleidoscope of activism by the early 1970s. Civil rights, student power, and the crusade against the Vietnam War composed the first wave of the movement, and during and after the rip tides of 1968, the movement changed and expanded, flowing into new currents of counterculture, minority empowerment, and women's liberation. The parades of protesters, along with shocking events - from the Kennedy assassination to My Lai - encouraged other citizens to question their nation. Was America racist, imperialist, sexist?

A collection of essays analyzing America's counterculture during the 1960s and 1970s. Topics include sixties-era communes, films, attitudes towards sex, and issues facing Indians, blacks, and homosexuals.
