Review
“The autobiographical narrative alone would commend Gates of Eden to anyone who wants to know what really happened in a period around which clouds of myth and obfuscation are already beginning to gather.”
- Christopher Lasch, New York Times Book Review, front-page review
“Dickstein's study effectively carries us back to those times when we really believed that protest might stop a horrific war...[T]he best book on that exhilarating, depressing decade.”
- Boston Globe
