The Port Huron Statement: The Vision Call of the 1960s Revolution

1 review
Tom Hayden

PublicAffairs, 2005

Editorial and Egotistical Distortions Notwithstanding
The editorial blurb provided here at Amazon states that the PHS was intended to "reform" the Democratic Party. That is false; no such agenda is to be found in the Statement. Equally false is Mr. Hayden's grandiose presentation of the PHS as "launching" the "revolution" (there was none, by the way) of the 1960s, as social ferment, suffering, and struggle all preceded and indeed gave rise to ...

Extraordinary--If You Read One Book This Year, Read This One
This is one of the most remarkable books I have ever read. It addresses a fundamental question now facing humanity: will we continue to delude ourselves that we are lords of the universe, that the Earth is ours to do with as we please, or will we come to understand and acknowledge our kinship with nature and the Earth, and our utter dependence upon them for our survival? There is a great ...

Hayden on Ireland
This is a particularly good time to read Tom Hayden's Irish on the Inside, due to the gathering conflict between America's role in the war against terrorism and the Irish perception of that role. The book deals with the exodus of Irish people from their homeland following the Famine in the mid-19th century, and the efforts of the newly arrived immigrants to adjust to American cultural attitudes ...

Conspiracy in the Streets: The Extraordinary Trial of the Chicago Eight

3 reviews

New Press, 2006

There is humor, there is tragedy
I wasn't expecting to laugh when I started reading, but I laughed at so many points. Not only the defendants' humor is hilarious at times, the prosecution almost never ceases to be ridiculous making a funny scene at times, and truly disturbing at others. Drawings are beautiful, and the cover itself sells the book I bet. Where each of the eight defendents ended up later in their lives was ...

Akashic Books, 2007

Useful arguments for ending the war on Iraq
This is one of the most useful books on the struggle for peace. Tom Hayden, a veteran of the anti-war movement in the 1960s and 1970s, draws lessons from the experience of opposing and helping to end the US war of aggression against Vietnam. He aims to apply public pressure to erode the eight pillars sustaining the war on Iraq: a stable ally in the form of an Iraqi government, sufficient ...
