Reviews

"The Spirit of the Sixties is a moving and beautifully written analysis of how...the personal became political." -- American Studies
"Farrell covers a lot of ground and covers it well..." -- Social Anarchism
"The Spirit of the Sixties is an important and unique addition to the historiography of the sixties. Farrell has produced a well-written, cogently argued, and insightful volume on that puzzling, pyrotechnic decade." -- Journal of American History
"...original and compelling historical work. For anyone who wants to think hard about the meaning and practice of a politically engaged, morally-driven life, Farrell's elegantly written account of postwar radicalism will be a rewarding experience." -- American Quarterly
"Of the many recent studies of social movements in the 1960s, James Farrell's is among the most insightful, original, and important." -- W. J. Rorabaugh, University of Washington, for H-Net Book Review
"Because of its range as well as its illuminating motif, the book would be very useful in a number of college-level courses on twentieth-century America." -- Dale A. Johnson, Vanderbuilt University, in ReligiousStudies Review, April 2002
"...this work remains an important and thought-provoking contribution to existing literature on the sixties." -- Michigan Historical Review
