The Shattering: America in the 1960s by Kevin Boyle, Kevin Boyle

3.0

Informative but dated. Some language has shifted in how we talk about groups of people. Even though this was published in 2021, that outdated language is used throughout.

Not bad, but felt very surface-level, despite the length.

This book was my first real introduction to American history of the 1960s, and I found it extremely informative and illuminating.
