For more than a decade, the UCLA dynasty defined college
basketball. In twelve seasons from 1964 to 1975, John Wooden's
teams won ten national titles, including seven consecutive
championships. The Bruins made history by breaking numerous
records, but they also rose to prominence during a turbulent age of
political unrest and youthful liberation. When Lew Alcindor and
Bill Walton--the most famous college basketball players of their
generation--spoke out against racism, poverty, and the Vietnam War,
they carved out a new role for athletes, casting their actions on
and off the court in a political light. The Sons of Westwood tells
the story of the most significant college basketball program at a
pivotal period in American cultural history. It weaves together a
story of sports and politics in an era of social and cultural
upheaval, a time when college students and college athletes joined
the civil rights movement, demonstrated against the Vietnam War,
and rejected the dominant Cold War culture. This is the story of
America's culture wars played out on the basketball court by some
of college basketball's most famous players and its most memorable
coach.
