LETTERS TO A YOUNG ACTIVIST: “Gitlin’s intellectual style is nimble and open-minded, the antithesis of pedantic…. He seeks out intergenerational common ground, looks to the well-coordinated right for models of organizing and argues for activism and intellectual work as complements, not opposites.” — New York Times Book Review
THE SIXTIES: “A beautifully written, thoughtfully critical account of the ‘60s experience.” — Washington Post
“In this much needed book, Todd Gitlin, a veteran of the 1960s and an astute commentator on social movements offers a compelling portrait of the Occupy movement that captures the spirit of the people involved, the crisis that gave Occupy birth, and the possibility of genuine change it represents.” — Eric Foner, author of THE FIERY TRIAL: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery
“Balancing lyrical wit and eloquent analysis, Gitlin captures the compelling story of OWS . . . and provides a gift of clear-headed, balanced thinking about [its] future.” — The Rumpus
“The Sixties might just be the one book to read to gain an overview of that crazy decade.” — Wall Street Journal
“[The Sixties]…tells more of the truth about its complex, quintessentially American subject than any book I know.” — Susan Sontag
