The book offers a detailed exploration of the tumultuous 1960s, highlighting key movements such as civil rights, black power, and the counterculture. It presents a critical analysis of figures like Kennedy and the implications of the Cold War, while also addressing the student rebellion and the impact of the Vietnam War. The author argues that the civil rights movement's shift towards identity politics undermined broader class issues, ultimately leading to the self-destruction of liberalism during the decade. This examination reveals the complexities and failures that shaped American society.
