From Camelot to Kent State - The Sixties Experience in the Words of Those Who Lived it (Paperback, Revised edition)

This is the story of ten years in the life of America - and of fifty-nine men and women who lived through those years. In their own words they describe a decade that shook us all: the struggle for civil rights, the assassinations, war abroad and at home, a youth-led revolution in music, dress, and values. Some of them recall also the exhilaration of believing that by their actions they could change the course of history. How did it feel to go into the South on a 'Freedom Bus', to be tear-gassed by your own country's soldiers, to take LSD for the first time, to step off a helicopter into a Vietnamese jungle, to take over your college's administration building, to receive a telegram telling you your son had been killed? Morrison's compelling book sheds light on these issues and many others.
