Description
New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed presidential historian Douglas Brinkley will chronicle the rise of environmental activism during the Long Sixties (1960-1973), telling the story of an indomitable generation that saved the natural world under the leadership of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon.
In his new book Silent Spring Revolution, Brinkley pays tribute to those who combated the mauling of the natural world and launched an ecological revolution that inspired such landmark legislation as the Wilderness Act, the Clean Air Acts, and the Endangered Species Acts.
