The People of the Generation (2003)

The People of This Generation: The Rise and Fall of the New Left in Philadelphia by Paul Lyons



This book is very academic and historically detailed and my interest flagged about halfway through. So why did I track down this title in the first place?

I lived through the sixties as a young housewife and mother and therefore missed the excitement of the times. Reading about people who I knew in high school effecting change in Philadelphia during the protests of the Vietnam War and fighting for equality made me realize how much I missed.
