The Liberal Hour: Washington and the Politics of Change in the 1960s (ISBN=9780143115465) 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

An engaging be hind-the-scenes look at the lesser-known

forces that fueled the profound social reforms of the 1960s

Provocative and incisive , The Liberal Hour

reveals how Washington, so often portrayed as a target of reform in

the 1960s, was in fact the era's most effective engine of change.

The movements of the 1960s have always drawn the most attention

from the decade's chroniclers, but it was in the halls of

government-so often the target of protesters' wrath-that the

enduring reforms of the era were produced. With nuance and panache,

Calvin Mackenzie and Robert Weisbrot present the real-life

characters-from giants like JFK and Johnson to lesser-known

senators and congressmen-who drove these reforms and were critical

to the passage of key legislation. The Liberal Hour offers

an engrossing portrait of this extraordinary moment when more

progressive legislation was passed than in almost any other era in

American history.
