| Abstract
|
:
|
"Newly revised and updated and with an expanded introduction, From Camelot to Kent State tells the story of ten of the most dramatic years in the life of America - and of fifty-nine men and women who lived through those years. In their own words, civil rights activists, soldiers who fought in Vietnam, anti-war protesters, student radicals, feminists, Peace Corps workers, and many others take us inside the major events and movements of the period. Far from a dispassionate history of the Sixties, these stories bristle with the tension and immediacy of lived experience. How did it feel to step out of a helicopter into a Vietnamese jungle, to ride south on a freedom bus, to march on the Pentagon, to hear Jimi Hendrix play the national anthem at Woodstock, to attend the first consciousness-raising meetings for women at the Bread and Roses Cafe? This captivating oral history will let you know."--Jacket
