"It’s a curious fact of contemporary politics that conservatives have emerged as keepers of the 1960s flame. Although the ’60s-that great blob of a decade most expansively defined as beginning with Kennedy’s inauguration and ending Nixon hopping a helicopter to San Clemente-were arguably the high-watermark of liberalism, contemporary liberals seem content to skip over the period.In this context, John A. Andrew III’s The Other Side of the Sixties is a particularly interesting act of historical recovery. Not only does Andrew, a liberal historian at Franklin & Marshall

"The Sixties" is a powerful literary anthology written by individuals who witnessed and participated in that revolutionary decade. Their stories, recollected in relative tranquility, illuminate this remarkable time, lifting the curtain of amnesia and media distortion that has been triggered by the decade’s inadmissible truths. Indeed this decade left in its wake painful and disturbing memories. The Vietnam War still haunts us. The civil rights movement changed race relations and the face of the South forever, yet lost Martin Luther King’s vision of brotherly love. The utopian livin

W.J. Rorabaugh offers a social history of the early 1960s through the lens of John F. Kennedy’s presidential career. JFK, writes Rorabaugh, "was both a unique figure and a true representative of his times." He governed during the bleakest years of the Cold War, which coincided with the emergence of the civil rights movement, the rise of feminist ambition, and, through the Beats, the invention of postmodernism. The myth of Camelot has led many Americans to believe that these were a final few idyllic years before the disastrous arrival of political assassinations, urban riots, and failure
