Rezensionen

"Robert V. Daniels understands that cultural revolutions have transformed the modern world at least as much as have violent conquests of state power. The Fourth Revolution is a challenging, original synthesis of the history of our own time." -- Michael Kazin, co-author of America Divided: The Civil War of the 1960s
"The Fourth Revolution is a book with a powerful and important argument. Robert V. Daniels helps to contextualize the 1960s within the narrative of modern world history. This is a very valuable contribution." -- Jeremi Suri, author of Power and Protest: Global Revolution and the Rise of Détente
