As the 1960s drew to a close, the United States was coming apart at the seams. From August 1969 to August 1970, the nation witnessed 9,000 protests and 84 acts of arson or bombings at schools across the country. It was the year of the My Lai massacre investigation, the Cambodia invasion, Woodstock, and the Moratorium to End the War. The American death toll in Vietnam was approaching 50,000, and the ascendant counterculture was challenging nearly every aspect of American society. Witness to the Revolution, Clara Bingham's unique oral history of that tumultuous time, unveils anew that moment when America careened to the brink of a civil war at home, as it fought a long, futile war abroad.
Woven together from 100 original interviews, Witness to the Revolution provides a firsthand narrative of that period of upheaval in the words of those closest to the action - the activists, organizers, radicals, and resisters who manned the barricades of what Students for a Democratic Society leader Tom Hayden called "the Great Refusal".

Interesting, but also a bit confusing

I think this particularly now that we have the Trump (47) Whitehouse with all its radical, short sighted and misguided appointments. Lead by an egotistical fool, we must be ready for anything. Understanding history is our best chance of clarity.
