"As one of the early leaders of the Students For A Democratic Society (SDS), Tom Hayden struggled to bring about equal rights for African Americans and later, to end the US involvement in the Vietnam War. Cited by the New York Times as one of the 200 best, this book chronicles a critical period in the development of non-violence as a means of social change in this country. Hayden stands for the voice of the people being heard, as it must in these difficult times." —Congresswoman Barbara Lee
"Tom Hayden's life and work inspired an entire generation to rebel against an ossified body politic and a time-frozen culture. My generation owes a great debt to the intellectual courage and moral leadership provided by Hayden's example. Now an entirely new generation has the opportunity to learn from his wisdom. In this Age Of Ashcroft and Endless Wars, Hayden's history of the Sixties becomes absolutely necessary reading—a bracing antidote to the hopelessness and fragmentation that stalks our national consciousness." —Marc Cooper
