    Maurice Isserman on "America Divided"

    Hamilton College Professor Maurice Isserman, co-author of "America Divided," talks about the societal ruptures of the Vietnam War and Iraq War eras.

    Maurice Isserman, professor of history at Hamilton College in upstate Clinton, N.Y., is co-author of the 1999 book "America Divided: The Civil War of the 1960s" with Michael Kazin. My own childhood memories of the 1960s and early '70s have been coming back to me, as the same kind of societal division, naked anger and passionate activism seem to be coalescing in ways I haven't seen in the last 30 years. To get a better feel for that dimly remembered era, I talked to professor Isserman about the tumult of the '60s and the historical threads that connect our time to those times.
