Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The Unreal Thing
David Horowitz and Peter Collier would love for the people that read this book to consider nothing outside of their loathsome view of the 60's. And if judged by the reader reviews they have found their partisans.
The New Left as archfiend to Democracy is employed as a synecdoche in H&C's tireless effort to deconstruct the era. Readers that impute H&C's subjective views are in lockstep with present day efforts by the neo con's to annul the extraordinary social achievements of the 60's ... Read More
Rating:  - Reconciliation With Myself
I graduated HS in '64 and attended college during the late 60s. I sood on the side lines in awe of the convulsions in the country. You could not be a 60s product without having some reverence for the committment of the radicals even if you had reservations about their cause.

I was growing up in California while this was all going on and somehow I was pretty much oblivious. David Horowitz and Peter Collier are remarkable authors and I am so glad to have had the opportunity to read this book. Why isn't it used as a history text in highschools?

I just hate it when history is distorted so that we can pretend things happened to acommodate feminist or liberal ... Read More
Rating: - The Dissillusionment of the Flower child
So many people from that generation have taught in our Universities and Public Schools "the 60's was an era when Peace not war was the goal". This book clearly details how that notion was blown adrift by the radical, hostile, and hedonistic lifestyles many people "in the Revolution" led during that time. After they tore down our institutions (belief in God) and tried to trash our culture(Democracy), they faded into the background. And even now as they reach their twilight years of old age, even now, ... Read More
Rating: - The Real Sixties.
These essays are priceless and they tell a tale that many have never heard. We are presented with the personal impacts of radicalism on human relationships and also on communities that sponsor it. Progressivism and its sympathizers practically imploded the city of Berkeley and still exert a noxious influence upon that locality today. The life of Fay Stender, a lawyer/groupie of the Black Panthers, teaches the reader just how much ideological blindness can bring a person down. The Weatherman Underground ... Read More
