Book Synopsis
Revolution in the Air is the definitive study of how radicals from the sixties movements embraced twentieth-century Marxism, and what movements of dissent today can learn from the legacies of Lenin, Mao and Che.

Trade Review
It should be required reading for those interested in the modern history of social movements and for radicals of my generation who are trying to find out what went wrong. * Los Angeles Times *
The breadth of Elbaum's knowledge ... marks this book as an absolutely first-rate work of political scholarship. * Village Voice *
Truly a superb work of scholarship that raises all the right questions ... * Radical History *
If you still believe sixties radicalism was nothing more than youthful middle-class confusion or parochial identity politics, then open these pages and dig. -- Robin D. G. Kelley
You can disagree with almost everything Elbaum writes ... and still value the clarity with which he poses the questions relevant to an effective anti-racist, feminist and class-conscious revolutionary movement in the 21st century. * Marx & Philosophy *
