Review :
"The authors of the collection burrowed deep to discover original sources. Some of the richest offerings were found in the record of congressional hearings and often from the Congressional Record. The editors captured the tone, the style, and the voice given to the most significant issues of the day." - Dr. William C. Binning Emeritus Professor, Political Science Youngstown State University "[The editors] have compiled a wonderful collection of documents that weave politics with the social culture of an influential decade.... Subjects covered range from the most obvious of the era; civil rights, foreign policy, and segregation; as well as lesser known issues such as public library funding, conservation of natural resources and the employment of homosexuals.... A fascinating read for anyone who loves history." - Maria McLane Library Division Manager Akron-Summit County Public Library"
