You Must Choose Now: A Journey Through The Sixties

Today, we take for granted that the tumult of the Sixties has shaped America's politics and culture ever since. But fading from memory are the stories of the real people who created the tumult as they sifted through events and made choices about politics, culture and how they wanted to live their lives. Most of those people were not as far out as the people who made the cover of various magazines but their choices were just as difficult and, ultimately, just as important. This book is the story of my Sixties--how I became an activist, spent a little time on the road as a Hippie, fell in love a couple times, lived in communes, got my head busted in Chicago, and smoked a some dope. But the real story is how the choices I made were generational choices that continue to reverberate fifty years later. Anyone who grew up in the Sixties will recognize the times, perhaps with nostalgia, perhaps with distaste. Anyone who wondered how the world got turned upside down in those years will get a view of how, one choice at a time, the divisions in American society got redrawn.
