This social history of protest movements in 1960s Germany departs
from the limited and often politically biased reports of
participants by placing the protests within the wider contexts of
social change and international events. Thomas makes extensive use
of archival material, much of which has never been used before, to
reconstruct an historical narrative that begins with the peace and
anti-nuclear campaigns of the 1950s and moves seamlessly on to the
defining events of the 1960s -the Vietnam War, university reform,
and the women's movement.Through this original reconstruction,
Thomas expertly shows how the protest movements both reflected and
influenced fundamental social and political change in post-war
Germany. He documents their role in helping to establish a critical
and politically mature democracy, despite the escalating violence
between protesters and government authorities that culminated in
the terrorism of the 1970s. This book is a benchmark publication.
Not only is it the first to document these events in English, but
it challenges previously biased accounts and offers a much needed
reassessment of popular assumptions.
