Debating the 1960s: Liberal, Conservative, and Radical Perspectives (Debating Twentieth-Century America)
This is a splendid survey of the three-cornered conflict that still shapes American politics and culture. It should be required reading in classrooms around the nation. (Kazin, Michael)This is, in fact, an excellent tool for the undergraduate classroom....this is a useful source. The two essays are useful and clear. And the documents are important to the discussion of the period. (The Historian)Michael Flamm and David Steigerwald, two of the best historians of the Sixties era, have created a smart, provocative book that is perfect for the classroom. Combining state-of-the-art overviews with a rich selection of documents,Debating the 1960s, pushes past the standard narrative of the 1960s and asks students to analyze the contesting forces of radicalism, liberalism and conservatism during that turbulent period.
