Description
A vibrant and revelatory history of the liberal moment of the 1960s, one which argues that Washington was not simply a target of reform but was, in fact, the era?s most effective engine of change In most accounts of the 1960s, Washington is portrayed as a target of reform?a reluctant group of politicians coaxed into accepting the radical spirit the day demanded. With elegant and accessible prose, The Liberal Hour casts one of the most dramatic periods in American history in a new light, revealing that for all that has been written about the more attention-grabbing protest movements, the most powerful engine of change in that tumultuous decade was Washington itself.
