Book Reviews of The Sixties: From Memory to History

Book Review: A Tremendous Anthology of Essays on the Sixties!
Summary: 5 Stars

For many of us born around 1960, the decade of the 60's may be lost in the minds of our parents or those fortunate or unfortunate to live through this challenging and exciting era in American History. David Farber has done an excellent job in assembling a collection of essays on various themes from the sixties. (Liberalism,Vietnam,Civil Rights,Cultural Revolution) Credit should also be given for the extensive, if not exhaustive, notes at the end of each chapter. The notes are filled with additional sources for the ambitious reader to continue studying the sixties. Overall, a great introduction to an important time period with excellent pointers to additional sources..Kent H. Manno Morristown, NJ
