Photographs throughout the book illustrate the drama of events described in each chapter. It includes the transcript of a panel discussion organized for the fortieth anniversary, with eyewitness testimony from Norman Birnbaum, Patty Lee Parmalee, and Tom Hayden. Originally released as a bulletin of the German Historical Institute, it is being published in book form for the very first time and includes a new foreword by Dimitri Roussopoulos, a veteran activist involved on an international level in the tumult of the 1960s."--Provided by publisher.History, Modern1945-1989RadicalismHistory20th centuryHistory, ModernRadicalismHistory909.82Gassert Phillipp1490973Klimke MartinMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK991079411610332119683712484UNINA
