Download Witness to the Revolution: Radicals, Resisters, Vets, Hippies, and the Year America Lost Its Mind and Found Its Soul AudioBook Free
As the 1960s drew to a close, the United States was coming aside at the seams. From August 1969 to August 1970, the country witnessed 9,000 protests and 84 acts of arson or bombings at academic institutions across the country. It was the entire year of the My Lai massacre inspection, the Cambodia invasion, Woodstock, and the Moratorium to get rid of the Conflict. The American fatality toll in Vietnam was nearing 50,000, and the ascendant counterculture was challenging practically every part of American world. See to the Trend, Clara Bingham's unique dental history of this tumultuous time, unveils anew that instant when America careened to the brink of any civil conflict at home, as it fought a long, futile war overseas. Woven mutually from 100 original interviews, See to the Trend offers a firsthand narrative of this period of upheaval in the words of these closest to the action - the activists, organizers, radicals, and resisters who manned the barricades of what Students for a Democratic Culture head Tom Hayden called "the fantastic Refusal".
