Reviews
This is, in fact, an excellent tool for the undergraduate classroom. . . . The two essays are useful and clear. And the documents are important to the discussion of the period., This is a splendid survey of the three-cornered conflict that still shapes American politics and culture. It should be required reading in classrooms around the nation., This is, in fact, an excellent tool for the undergraduate classroom....this is a useful source. The two essays are useful and clear. And the documents are important to the discussion of the period., Michael Flamm and David Steigerwald, two of the best historians of the Sixties era, have created a smart, provocative book that is perfect for the classroom. Combining state-of-the-art overviews with a rich selection of documents, Debating the 1960s pushes past the standard narrative of the 1960s and asks students to analyze the contesting forces of radicalism, liberalism and conservatism during that turbulent period.

Synopsis
Debating the 1960s explores the decade through the controversies between radicals, liberals, and conservatives. The focus is on four main areas of contention: social welfare, civil rights, foreign relations, and social order. The book also examines the emergence of the New Left and the modern conservative movement. Combining analytical essays and historical documents, the book highlights the polarization of the era and assesses the enduring importance of the 1960s on contemporary American politics and society., The conventional interpretation of the 1960s emphasizes how liberal, even radical, the decade was. It was, after all, the age of mass protests against the Vietnam War and social movements on behalf of civil rights and women's rights. It was also an era when the counterculture challenged many of the values and beliefs held by morally traditional Americans. But a newer interpretation stresses how truly polarized the 1960s were. It portrays how radicals, liberals, and conservatives repeatedly clashed in ideological combat for the hearts and minds of Americans. Millions in the center and on the right contested the counterculture, defended the Vietnam War, and opposed civil rights.Debating the 1960s explores the decade through the arguments and controversies between radicals, liberals, and conservatives.
