"Jeremy Varon in "Bringing the War Home "achieves something very difficult, and very important: he conveys the intense heat of moral purpose and political conviction that drove some radicals to violence, while at the same time he maintains a cool analytic distance that enables him to provide a brilliant and compelling interpretation of the logic and limits of dissent in democratic societies. And his conclusions illuminate pressing issues about the role of militancy in contemporary protest movements."--Jon Wiener, author of ...

And his conclusions illuminate pressing issues about the role of militancy in contemporary protest movements."--Jon Wiener, author of "Gimme Some Truth: The John Lennon FBI Files" "By looking seriously at the rise of revolutionary violence and the international dimensions of that phenomenon, Jeremy Varon makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of 'The Sixties.' His book paints a nuanced picture of a period in recent history that in many ways remains an open wound. In so doing, Varon helps us to see the world today more clearly. This is extremely important history-especially for young people."--Sam Green, Director/Producer of "The Weather Underground" "Jeremy Varon's important and courageous book marks a turning point in the scholarship about the 1960s and their aftermath. With an admirable mixture of distance and engagement, Varon brings to bear the classic questions which European and American historians have applied to questions of politics and violence. "Bringing the War Home" makes significant contributions to understanding terrible events. It deserves close attention both from scholars and a broad reading public."--Jeffrey Herf, author of "Divided Memory: The Nazi Past in the Two Germanys"
