Maurice Isserman on "America Divided"
Continued | Back to part 1
Q: Another impression I have from that time is that the bedrock of people supporting the war — and people taken aback by the youth culture of that time — were the World War II generation, for whom it was a denial of the conception that they had of what the country was all about.

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.
