The Sixties:
gettingitall together.
The Sixties remain a baffling decade, a still puzzling
outburst of contradictory yearnings and actions;
generosity and violence, innovation and destruc–
tiveness, exuberance and rage. Did all the tumult of
that decade have any
lasting
effects on American
culture? Now, a perceptive young critic who lived
through it all takes an objective look at the
meaning and the impact of the Sixties, in what
Richard Poirier calls "a vital and important book for
anyone who wants to know the intricate and some–
times explosive connections between culture and
politics in the '60's:'
"I don' t know of anyone who could have written a
better book on the period and I don't know anyone
who has:'-Richard Gilman
