This is one of the most fantastic history books I’ve ever read. So well researched. Clear. Well organized. The politics are simple and a clear Marist distillation of a moment in time. So many of the issues of 1968-1973 were VERY reminiscent of today. Language of “outside agitators” as a scapegoat to belie the actual cause of violence or disruption (poverty/police violence/etc) wow wow wow. Highly highly recommend. This is a MUST read!!

An absolute must-read that reveals a huge amount of overlooked history and has many lessons for movement-building. One thing I really appreciate is that the authors aren't afraid to talk about conflict within movements without taking a simplistic or partisan stance on who was right and who was wrong.
