[nice tight copy, marred only by some spotting to the top page edges; jacket edgeworn (mostly along rear flap foldover), otherwise bright and clean]. (B&W photographs) "From an American perspective the counter culture [sic], or youth movement of the sixties, often is viewed as a phenomenon unique to the United States. As proof, some writers cite the emergence of the youth protest movement as being merely a product of the peculiar conditions of the time, such as the postwar baby boom, the temporary domestic economic prosperity, and the social upheaval which was brought about by the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War. In short, opinion has it that the counter culture sprang up from nowhere and just as spontaneously will now pass quietly into history. [This book] tells us otherwise. Here, for the first time, we are presented with a historical study which shows the movement of the sixties to be simply one more step in the evolution of a force which has its roots in earth nineteenth century France."
