Title: One sided view
Product review: This book is very incomplete. It presents and documents well some aspects of the sixties and ignores others.As the book states The Black Panthers were indeed criminals and thugs but there has been incredible progress in opportunities for African-Americans and a much more color blind society as a result of the sixties.The North Vietnamese army was indeed brutal in victory but it doesn't mean the US had any reason to be there. We lost in Vietnam and the rest of South East Asia did not become communist disproving the domino theory which was used to justify the war. Women have many most opportunities.He ignores the fact that Hoover and his FBI abused their power so much that many people who came of age during the sixties don't trust our own government. For a balanced book of the sixties, I recommend Boom by Tom Browkaw. He presents both sides.
