Inside the events that define a generation Witness for the Republic takes a revealing new look at the critical events of The Cold War, Vietnam and the social revolution that created the modern world. This provocative work challenges the conventional view of the Cold War years, probing deep beneath the headlines to provide new insights into the lead stories of that tumultuous era. It is a firsthand account of many of the defining events of the twenty-year period 1956-1976. From the Kennedy campaign to the Johnson White House, from Vietnam to the Civil Rights Movement, from Woodstock to the fall of Saigon, this unique book goes inside the events that forever changed America. This illuminating book also shows how the unshakable vision of the post-World War II Generation laid the groundwork for the digital age, the Women's Movement and the reshaping of American society for generations to come.
