From Camelot to Kent State: The Sixties Experience in the Words of Those Who Lived It
What motivated you to act the way you did in the Sixties? What did you actually do? What are your feelings now? The authors of this oral history asked these questions, and the edited responses "give some idea of what it was like to be living then." They interviewed activists in civil rights, the Vietnam War and the protest movement, student mobilization, and the counterculture. Though there is some repetition and extraneous material, the book offers such highlights as John Lewis's brief memoir of his experiences in civil rights sit-ins and SNCC. The book exudes the hopeful spirit and bitter disappointments of the time. Jack Forman, Mesa Coll. Lib., San DiegoCopyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
