Essential book for understanding social change
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book got overlooked by most of the media, but it's a keeper--a terrifically useful look at the boundaries between social committment and ordinary life. If we want to get more people involved, we need to understand what's holding them back, and how our efforts can overcome this. Making History is a wonderful contribution to this task.

This book is great. It gave me a new way of understanding political life, including my own vascilations between activity, withdrawal, apathy. It also helped me to understand the dramatic changes in American political and cultural life during the past several decades. If you have an interest in understanding The Sixties and its aftermath, then you will benefit from reading this excellent book.
