The Sixties by Todd Gitlin
Years of Hope, Days of Rage
A vivid, compact account of the 1960s that traces how a broad surge of youthful activism — from civil rights and antiwar protests to student radicalism and the counterculture — challenged established politics and culture, energized mass protest, and transformed everyday life. It examines the movement’s energy, organizational struggles, internal conflicts and tactical shifts, and how media exposure, state reaction, and factionalism contributed to its fragmentation. The narrative ends by weighing the era’s mixed legacy: significant social and cultural changes alongside the rise of conservative backlash and political retrenchment.
