Description

A Defining Chronicle of America’s Most Turbulent Decade — Scarce First Hardcover Edition

Todd Gitlin’s The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage offers a vivid, deeply informed portrait of the movements, ideals, and upheavals that shaped a generation. As a leader within the New Left and president of Students for a Democratic Society, Gitlin delivers both a personal narrative and a powerful critique of the era’s hopes and contradictions.

From civil rights marches to antiwar protests, women’s liberation to the countercultural explosion, this landmark work captures the spirit and chaos of the 1960s with exceptional clarity. Gitlin’s prose is both reflective and rigorous — a touchstone for anyone exploring how the past echoes through today's cultural and political divides.

This scarce 1987 hardcover edition is protected in archival Brodart and in very good vintage condition, with mild shelf wear and age-appropriate tanning. First printings in hardcover are increasingly difficult to find.

Collector's item — only one copy available.
