"This book is pure narrative history. It moves forward relentlessly, omnivorously, in torrents of precise and well-paced prose. It should be viewed, primarily, as a newsreel, a Bayeaux Tapestry, a mural in some palace of memory. The fundamental success of this book is Lytle's ability to zero in on the significant events, to place them in their proper context, and to tell his story as vividly as possible."--Kevin Starr, University of Southern California"This is a very well-written and engaging book, which deftly synthesizes much of the scholarship on the 1960s. Its virtue as a book is its breadth, its cogency, and its ability to make this turbulent time come alive in all sorts of ways." --Ed Linenthal, author of The Unfinished Bombing: Oklahoma City in American Memory"A telling analysis of the 1960s. 'America's Uncivil Wars' is written in an appealing, engaging narrative style; Lytle looks into every nook and cranny of the decade, and sees the end of 'uncivil wars' taking place during Richard Nixon's corrupt presidency."--Deseret Morning News"Anyone who wants a closer look at one of the most tumultuous periods of this nation's history should not fail to read America's Uncivil Wars.... This book delivers all it promises."--The Daily Oklahoman
