Overview
Student unrest, racism and war--these issues dominated the Vietnam era and are explored here by a witness to the events.
Roger Kahn tells the story of rebellion on a single American campus. What makes it memorable, apart from the courage and the brutality, is that it fired student uprisings throughout the nation. It is the story of a great university, Columbia, torn apart by rage. Though less obvious now, the symptoms lie just below the surface of events today.
"THE BATTLE FOR MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS is the most important book which has been written on the subject of student unrest." --Eugene McCarthy
