Reviews

`Review from previous edition Written from the perspective of a participant observer, this is critical history in the Nietzschean sense. At no point naively optimistic about the chances for success, it nonetheless aims at reviving the volatile Spirit of '68 , and thus at making the potential of the past available for the present. ' Kay Schiller, TLS `...makes for an interesting and stimulating reading not least because of its accessible style, attention to detail, passionate argument and choice of fresh case studie.' Anna Menge, History `A lively and detailed study...Horn brings an admirable breadth of learning and enthusiasm to his subject. ' Steve Andrew, Morning Star `I strongly recommend it...superb.' International Socialism `Horn's cosmopolitanism and internationalism are admirable.' Michael Siedman, English Historical Review `Altogether, the book covers an amazing range not only of countries and dates, but also of social subjects, from students to workers to women...I particularly appreciate the spirit of this book in our time of widespread pessimism.' Luisa Passerini, American Historical Review `The Spirit of '68 is marked by an impressive mastery of languages and national source-bases, and is particularly valuable for its treatment of previously overlooked cases... It should find a place in both undergraduate and graduate classrooms.' Timothy Scott Brown, European History Quarterly

I strongly recommend it...superb. International Socialism
