Book excerpt: This is a must-have anthology of the milestone speeches, manifestos, court decisions, and groundbreaking journalism of the Sixties. No other period in American history has been more liberating, more confusing, more unforgettable, and had a more direct impact on the way we navigated the profound changes that swept over the country in the following three decades. From Betty Friedan to Barry Goldwater, from the formidable presence of the Kennedy brothers to the unimaginable influence of Woodstock, Pulitzer prize-winning author Irwin Unger and journalist Debi Unger present the complexities of a volatile and tumultuous decade, while explaining how and why each significant event took place and how it shifted the country's consciousness. From the antiwar movement to the moon race, from the burgeoning counterculture to the Warren and Berger courts, and from the civil rights movement to the 1968 presidential campaign, The Times Were a Changin' will tantalize and confound readers, while inspiring and enraging them as well. The Ungers provide us with a better understanding of the strategy and maneuvering of the 1960s war games--from the Bay of Pigs to the Tet Offensive. And the pieces they have chosen help us define the current of social intolerance that plagues our country to this day. Balancing the controversial issues of the times with an even hand, the Ungers give equal time to William F. Buckley and Abbie Hoffman, Barry Goldwater and Hubert Humphrey, the Black Panthers and Martin Luther King, Jr., compiling an anthology that supplies rhyme and reason to a decade that never ceases to amaze us, endless in its capacity to be explored and understood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning historian on the transformative year in the sixties that continues to reverberate in our lives and politics—for readers of Heather Cox Richardson. If 1968 marked a turning point in a pivotal decade, 1964—or rather, the long 1964, from JFK’s assassination in November 1963 to mid-1965—was the time when the sixties truly arrived. It was then that the United States began a radical shift toward a much more inclusive definition of “American,” with a greater degree of equality and a government actively involved in social and economic improvement. It was a radical shift accompanied by a cultural revolution. The same month Bob Dylan released his iconic ballad “The Times They Are a-Changin’,” January 1964, President Lyndon Johnson announced his War on Poverty. Spurred by the civil rights movement and a generation pushing for change, the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and the Immigration and Nationality Act were passed during this period. This was a time of competing definitions of freedom. Freedom from racism, freedom from poverty. White youth sought freedoms they associated with black culture, captured imperfectly in the phrase “sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll.” Along with freedom from racist oppression, black Americans sought the opportunities associated with the white middle class: “white freedom.” Women challenged rigid gender roles. And in response to these freedoms, the changing mores, and youth culture, the contrary impulse found political expression in such figures as Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, proponents of what was presented as freedom from government interference. Meanwhile, a nonevent in the Tonkin Gulf would accelerate the nation's plunge into the Vietnam tragedy. In narrating 1964’s moment of reckoning, when American identity began to be reimagined, McElvaine ties those past battles to their legacy today. Throughout, he captures the changing consciousness of the period through its vibrant music, film, literature, and personalities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These forty-eight powerful stories and poems etch in vivid detail the breakthrough moments experienced by women during the life-changing era that was the ’60s and ’70s. These women rode the sexual revolution with newfound freedom, struggled for identity in divorce courts and boardrooms, and took political action in street marches. They pushed through boundaries, trampled taboos, and felt the pain and joy of new experiences. And finally, here, they tell it like it was. From Vietnam to France, from Chile to England, from the Haight-Ashbury to Greenwich Village, and to the Deep South and Midwest, Times They Were A-Changing recalls the cultural reverberations that reached into farm kitchens and city “pads” alike—and in doing so, it celebrates the women of the ’60s and ’70s, reminding them of the importance of their legacy.

Book excerpt: Changin' Times: 101 Days that Shaped a Generation is a portrait of an unforgettable time, but one that most people don't recall beyond the assassination of President Kennedy and the explosion of Beatlemania in the U.S. It looks at the after-effects of the JFK assassination, the start of the 1964 political year, the instability in South Vietnam that would lead to the expansion of the war, the very early indications of the domestic turmoil that would come to define the '60s, the technology of the times, and the pop culture British Invasion that preceded the musical one. And in examining these phenomena, Changin' Times dispels some long-held myths about that incredible moment in history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1940s America was a great place to be. They had just helped defeat both Japan and Nazi Germany leading the country to be arguably the most powerful nation on the planet. On the home front it was all about success and luxuries. In the coming decades living in America would become more and more about being entertained and having the newest thing. But all the success was geared towards those who fought. The young adults who sacrificed in war or at home. Their children did not have the marketing attention they would years later. Instead, they spent much of their time finding their own adventures, their own entertainment and their own type of luxuries. Bobby Gunkel was one of those post World War II kids trying to find his place in the world. When he meets Brenda a young girl living near his small east Texas town, his life changes. From children in puppy love to young adults struggling to make their way in the world, finding their purpose, Times... They Are a Changin' is an emotional ride through one couple's life together.

Chant thinks that he was finally on the other side of stalkers and midnight break-ins and putting everyone he loves in danger until he and his turn-of-the-century friend were ambushed the moment they touched down in the modern world. Now, everything is a ticking clock that he suddenly feels painfully out of control. Somehow the fact that he owns a time machine isn't helping.

His romance with Mary is blooming more every day, the same can't be said about his best friend's. As Sophie and Kurt balk at the gap between the futures calling them, Chant and company are also forced to realize everything is going to change very soon, whether they like it or not. What does the future hold for the Pedaler? As graduation looms, and college approaches, decisions must be made.
