The greatest strength of the book is the breadth of its coverage compared to its competition."--Patrick Jones, University of Nebraska"From experience, this book functions extremely well in class. It deals with all of the key issues--civil rights, the student movement, the war in Vietnam, and the women's movement."--Allan M.
