Description
Book SynopsisA controversial reworking of the sixties and its ongoing impact on American politics and culture
Trade Review"Paul Lyons is one of the most sensible writers dealing with that most unsensible of subjects: the legacy of the Sixties. Ethnographically acute, politically balanced, eloquently engaged, Lyons gets at the complexities of generational conflict in ways discomforting to ideologies of the Left and the Right. New Left, New Right, and the Legacy of the Sixties ought to be a book for the Nineties." --Alan Wolfe, Boston University
