America in the Sixties Reviews

Perceptive, judicious, and written with an engaging flair, master historian John Robert Greene's America in the Sixties vividly brings to life arguably the most important and complex decade of the twentieth century. - Melvin Small, author of The Presidency of Richard Nixon

John Robert Greene and the 1960s are a perfect match. The incisive analysis of the politics, culture, and historical impact of that fascinating decade will delight Greene's many readers. The irreverent chapter on John F. Kennedy is certain to spark fruitful controversy. Today's students will find America in the Sixties an excellent and accessible introduction to ten years that still resonate in contemporary society. - Lewis L. Gould, author of 1968: The Election That Changed America

John Robert Greene is the best kind of historian a gifted storyteller who peels back the layers of well-known events to reveal the web of social movements, politics and people that changed the world forever and still shapes us today. - Mary Beth Tinker, activist and educator; plaintiff in Tinker v. Des Moines (1969)
