Book Synopsis
The Sixties — an era of protest, free love, civil disobedience, duffel coats, flower power, giant afros and desert boots, all recorded on grainy black and white footage — marked a turning point for change. A time when radicals found their voices and used them. While the initial trigger for protest was opposition to the Vietnam War, this anger quickly escalated to include Aboriginal Land Rights, Women’s Liberation, Gay Liberation, Apartheid, and ‘workers’ control’.

In Radicals some of the people doing the changing – including Meredith Burgmann, Nadia Wheatley, David Marr, Geoffrey Robertson and Gary Foley – reflect on how the decade changed them and society forever.

Trade Review
There’s a war going on, we’re seeing it on television every night ... It is 1968 – things are changing around the world… And you are telling us not to think about things, not to discuss politics!""- Helen Voysey
