What People are Saying About This

Robert Freedman

A political, nostalgic tour that brings back the smell of tear gas, the sounds of protest, and the excitement of a dark decade well worth remembering.
—(Robert Freedman, Editor, Columbia Daily Spectator, 1968-69)

Robert Allen

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to know where America is coming from.
—(Robert Allen, author of Black Awakening in Capitalist America)

Barbara Ehrenreich

I don't know how we did so long without such a book. Not only does it restore a vital part of American radical history to us, but it is especially pertinent to the struggles and challenges we face in the 1980's.
—(Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Hearts of Men: American Dreams and the Flight from Commitment)

William Kunstler

At last a panorama of the 60's, possibly one of the most memorable decades of American history prepared by two who lived a great deal of it. The Sixties Papers was well worth the long wait.
—(William Kunstler, Center for Constitutional Rights)
