No decade combines such hopeful idealism with such violence and disillusionment, or witnesses such profound political, cultural, and personal upheavals. And no decade benefits more from being seen through the eyes of\u003cbr\u003ethose who experienced firsthand the shocks and revelations that still reverberate today. \u003cbr\u003e Newly revised and updated, with an expanded introduction, \u003cem\u003eFrom Camelot to Kent State\u003c\/em\u003e 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, \u003cbr\u003eanti-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 wake up\u003cbr\u003einto step out of a helicopter into a Vietnamese jungle; to ride south on a freedom bus, to march on the Pentagon; to take over a college administration building; to hear Jimi Hendrix play the national anthem at Woodstock; to attend the first consciousness-raising meetings for women at the Bread and\u003cbr\u003eRoses café? This captivating oral history will let you know. \u003cbr\u003e Included are first-hand accounts from both the famous-including Eldridge Cleaver, Abbie Hoffman, Philip Berrigan, and John Lewis-and the ordinary men and women who were swept up in major historical events, \u003cem\u003eFrom Camelot to Kent State\u003c\/em\u003e offers a uniquely valuable view of a decade that forever changed\u003cbr\u003ethe history and consciousness of America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joan Morrison, Robert K.
