"In the 1980s, wistful characterizations of sixties, the era of the New Left and the Counterculture, abound: a time of welling humanism, selfless social conscience, and political idealism practiced by a remarkable generation of altruistic crusaders. "It would seem,' writes Joseph Conlin in this original and reflective study, 'that in our fad-sensitive society, the sixties are 'coming back into style.'" Born in May 1960 when several thousand young people demonstrated in San Francisco against the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the Movement spanned a decade characterized by tumult, disturbance, and protest on a mass scale; it died in May 1970 when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on protesting students at Kent State, killing four."--Book Flap.
