Summary

Thousands of young activists, radicalized by the Vietnam War and Black Liberation, and spurred on by the Puerto Rican, Chicano and Asian-American movements, embraced a Third World oriented version of Marxism. This is a study of the long march of the US New Left after 1968.

Revolution in the Air Summary

Revolution in the Air: Sixties Radicals Turn to Lenin, Mao and Che by Max Elbaum

Revolution in the Air is the definitive study of how radicals from the sixties movements embraced twentieth-century Marxism, and what movements of dissent today can learn from the legacies of Lenin, Mao and Che.

Revolution in the Air Reviews

It should be required reading for those interested in the modern history of social movements and for radicals of my generation who are trying to find out what went wrong. * Los Angeles Times *
The breadth of Elbaum's knowledge ... marks this book as an absolutely first-rate work of political scholarship. * Village Voice *
Truly a superb work of scholarship that raises all the right questions ... * Radical History *
If you still believe sixties radicalism was nothing more than youthful middle-class confusion or parochial identity politics, then open these pages and dig. -- Robin D. G. Kelley
