The Failed Idealism of the Love Generation

Human rights, civil rights, save the planet, ban the bomb!
What happened to the rallying cries of the Baby Boomers, the bright lights of the Sixties, the largest demographic in human history …

The “Love Generation” that was going to change the world for the better. What Happened to the Love Generation? is an incisive, straightforward look at how the Boomers sold out, starting in the seventies…and a chilling examination of the ways in which “the establishment” undermined the idealists’ progressive agenda.

A must-read for anyone concerned about climate change, nuclear proliferation, and the unbridled power of transnational corporations, What Happened to the Love Generation? maps the errors and pitfalls of the Boomers, and provides a unique perspective to help today’s change-oriented younger generation stay on track and recover the idealism and beauty of the best of the Sixties.
