This narrative explores the thinking, people, and events that shaped the decade, including the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Yippie movement. The book delves into the lives of key figures such as Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden, and Timothy Leary, examining the theories behind the New Left's rapid decline. O'Neill also examines the lasting impact of the New Left on academia, revealing the complexities and ironies that have shaped its legacy.
