The Unraveling of America: A History of Liberalism in the 1960s
- Used Book in Good Condition
In a book that William E. Leuchtenburg, writing in the Atlantic, called â€œa work of considerable power,â€ Allen Matusow documents the rise and fall of 1960s liberalism. He offers deft treatments of the major topicsâ€•anticommunism, civil rights, Great Society programs, the countercultureâ€•making the most, throughout, of his subjectâ€™s tremendous narrative potential. Matusowâ€™s preface to the new edition explains the sometimes critical tone of his study. The Unraveling of America, he says, â€œwas intended as a cautionary tale for liberals in the hope that when their hour struck again, they might perhaps be fortified against past error. Now that they have another chance, a look back at the 1960s might serve them well.â€
