Goes beyond the cliches of the '60s and synthesizes thirty years of research, writing, and teaching on one of the most turbulent decades of the twentieth century. It sketches the well-known players of the period, bringing each to life with subtle detail; introduces readers to lesser-known incidents of the decade; and offers fresh and persuasive insights on many of its watershed events.
In America in the Sixties, Greene goes beyond the clichés and synthesizes thirty years of research, writing, and teaching on one of the most turbulent decades of the twentieth century.
