Synopsis

Designed for courses in American History, The Sixties (1960 - 1969).

 

This concise history provides a comprehensive journey through the 1960s, a time of extraordinary change and turmoil when dominant values, relationships, institutions came under fire from dissenters determined to alter the course of public affairs and how they themselves lived.  Pulitzer Prize winning historian Irwin Unger offers a brief, yet complete look at this unique time in American History, providing a overview of the people, events, and changes that took place.
