The first in-depth study of the long march of the US New Left after 1968
Max Elbaum was a member of Students for a Democratic Society and a leader of one of the main new communist movement organisations. His writings have appeared in the Nation and the Guardian, among others.
It should be required reading for those interested in the modern
history of social movements and for radicals of my generation who
are trying to find out what went wrong.
*Los Angeles Times*
The breadth of Elbaum's knowledge ... marks this book as an
absolutely first-rate work of political scholarship.
*Village Voice*
If you still believe sixties radicalism was nothing more than
youthful middle-class confusion or parochial identity politics,
then open these pages and dig.
