In Contrast With Most Histories Of This Period, America'S Uncivil Wars: The Sixties Era From Elvis To The Fall Of Richard Nixon Does Not Treat The 1960S As A Single Historical Moment Or As Successive Waves Of Activism. Rather, It Employs A Chronological Narrative To Identify Three Distinct Phases During Which Events Of The Era Unfolded. The First Began With The Cultural Ferment Of The 1950S And Ended With The Assassination Of John F. Kennedy. During The Second Phase, From 19641968, The 'Uncivil' Wars Began In Earnest: Americans Disagreed About New Social And Cultural Mores, Protests Against The Vietnam War Increased In Size And Vehemence, And American Cities Erupted In Racial Violence. From 1967 Through 1968, All Of These Forces Combined To Divide Americans More Deeply Than They Had Been Since The Civil War. In The Third Phase, Richard Nixon Promised To Bring Americans Together. However, A Host Of New Value And Identity Movementsenvironmentalists, Consumer Advocates, Feminists, Gay, Latino, And Native American Activistsfrustrated His Design. Only After The Watergate Scandals Forced This Polarizing Figure From Office Did A Measure Of Civility Return To The Nation'S Public Discourse.America'S Uncivil Wars Captures The Broad Sweep Of This Tumultuous Era, Analyzing Both The Cultural And Political Influences On The Movements Of The 1960S. Paying Particular Attention To Latinos, Native Americans, Feminism, And Gay Liberation, It Integrates The Politics Of Gender And Race Into The Central Political Narrative. The Book Also Covers Such Topics As Mccarthyism; The Fbi; Rock And Roll; Teen Culture In The 1950S; The Origins Of Sds, Sncc, And Yaf; And The Environmental And Consumer Movements. With Its Engaging Narrative Style And Broad Cultural Emphasis, America'S Uncivil Wars Brings A Fresh Approach To Our Understanding Of Not Only The 1960S But Also U.S. History Since 1945.
