In The Long March, Roger Kimball, the author of Tenured Radicals,
shows how the "cultural revolution" of the 1960s and '70s took hold
in America, lodging in our hearts and minds, and affecting our
innermost assumptions about what counts as the good life. Kimball
believes that the counterculture transformed high culture as well
as our everyday life in terms of attitudes toward self and country,
sex and drugs, and manners and morality. Believing that this
dramatic change "cannot be understood apart from the seductive
personalities who articulated its goals," he intersperses his
argument with incisive portraits of the life and thought of Allen
Ginsberg, Norman Mailer, Timothy Leary, Susan Sontag, Eldridge
Cleaver and other "cultural revolutionaries" who made their mark.
For all that has been written about the counterculture, until now
there has not been a chronicle of how this revolutionary movement
succeeded and how its ideas helped provoke today's "culture wars."
The Long March fills this gap with a compelling and well-informed
narrative that is sure to provoke discussion and debate.
