Reform has seldom come w/such speed, such sweep & such consequence. What drove this political sea change? In Liberal Hour, Calvin Mackenzie & Robert Weisbrot argue that primary force behind it was not counterculture but those in traditional seats of power. W/nuance & panache, they present real life characters - from giants like JFK & Johnson to lesser known senators & congressmen - who drove these reforms & were critical to passage of key legislation. Concise, accessible & engaging behind scenes look at profound social changes of 1960s, Liberal Hour reveals how Washington, so often portrayed as target of reform, was in fact era's most effective engine of change.
