The student uprisings of 1968 erupted not only in America but also
across Europe, expressing a distinct generational attitude about
politics, the corrupt nature of democratic capitalism, and the evil
of military interventions. Yet, thirty-five years later, many in
that radical generation had come into conventional positions of
power: among them Bill Clinton (who reportedly stayed up all night
reading this book) and Joschka Fischer, foreign minister of
Germany. During a 1970s street protest, Fischer was photographed
beating a cop to the ground; during the 1990s, he was supporting
Clinton in a NATO-led military intervention in the Balkans. Here
Paul Berman, "one of America's best exponents of recent
intellectual history" ("The Economist"), masterfully traces the
intellectual and moral evolution of an impassioned generation and
gives an acute analysis of what it means to go to war in the name
of democracy and human rights."
