THE SIXTIES: AN AMERICAN FAMILY IN EUROPE The Epilogue shows that the sixties is the root of current events: Russia reestablishing its world status by clients’ needs for its natural resources; the specific conflict of the Six-Day War becoming regional due to the Iraq War, with oil as the crux. Neutral Switzerland joined the United Nations; France continues her independent policies; and America faces its limitations of power in thankless wars and the self-determination of emerging nations. For all of us who lived through this decade, the book is a wonderful reminder of an amazing time. But Ada Feyerick goes way beyond nostalgia by bringing us a new and very personal perspective. This is living history. For that I am grateful. Wolf Blitzer, CNN Anchor, The Situation Room |
