About this title

Synopsis

"Confrontation has grown out of the recognition, certainly not unique to me, that the 70s will be a pivotal decade, a decade in which, quite possibly, the ultimate victory of either Thanatos or Eros will be decided. Numerous presidential commissions have been charged with discovering particular realities and have concluded that only massive and enlightened action now—in combatting crime, in integrating minorities into the fabric of American society, in rehabilitating our cities—can prevent the disintegration of our society and preserve those values and freedoms that are the essence of "America." Numerous commentators have analyzed the increasingly bitter "war against the young" and have foreseen a resort to coercive power where moral authority has failed. And on a global scale the 70s will see man's continued existence further imperiled by increasing militarism and national militancy and by the threat of an ecological collapse that would kill us all before we have a chance to kill each other." From the Preface
