Summary

"America in Revolt during the 1960s and 1970s looks at 12 key events, including John F. Kennedy's death, the Civil Rights Act, the introduction of the birth control pill, the student killings at Kent State, and Richard Nixon's resignation. Each chapter recounts the event as it actually happened, then considers how history would have been altered if things had unfolded differently. It is a thought-provoking way of exploring an explosive era whose aftershocks continue to shape the American experience today."--Jacket
