Recenzii
"Rethinking the American Anti War Movement is a well-researched, carefully written, and nuanced study that makes clear the tumultuous nexus of the most important intellectual threads of the 1960s. Simon Hall vividly demonstrates the complex interaction between the civil rights movement, the counterculture, the women's movement, and the anti-war movement and provides a guide to key events and players, which helps the reader make sense of this extraordinary era and its complex legacy."
– Andrew A. Wiest, Professor and Director of International Studies, University of Southern Mississippi
