  • Description

    The neocons have become at once the most feared and reviled intellectual movement in American history. How did an obscure band of policy intellectuals, left for dead in the 1990s, suddenly rise to influence the Bush administration and revolutionize American foreign policy? Jacob Heilbrunn wittily and pungently depicts the government officials, pundits, and think-tank denizens who make up this controversial movement, bringing them to life against a background rich in historical detail and political insight. Decisively shaped by the immigrant exerience and the trauma of the Holocaust, they rose from the margins of political life to become an insurgent counter-establishment that challenged the old WASP foreign policy elite. Far from being chastened by the Iraq debacle, the neocons continue to guide foreign policy. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Something Happened : A Political And Cultural Overview Of The Seventies

  • Something Happened : A Political And Cultural Overview Of The Seventies

  • Attribution

    Edward D. Berkowitz

  • Publication Details

    Book, Columbia University Press, 2006

  • Description

    From Woody Allen to Watergate, from the decline of the steel industry to the rise of Bill Gates, and from Saturday Night Fever to the Sunday morning fervor of evangelical preachers, Berkowitz captures the history, tone, and spirit of the seventies. The seventies also gave birth to several social movements and the “rights revolution,” in which women, gays and lesbians, and people with disabilities all successfully fought for greater legal and social recognition. At the same time, reaction to these social movements as well as the issue of abortion introduced a new facet into American political life-the rise of powerful, politically conservative religious organizations and activists.
