Summary: "Reunion is both an intimate personal memoir and a richly detailed chronicle of one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. Tom Hayden's story encompasses the tragic and terrifying events of the sixties: racial strife in the Deep South, the wave of urban ghetto riots, angry students clashing with mace-spraying police, gunned-down leaders, and the Vietnam War. Hayden takes us inside the newsreels to the heart of what was happening, from the founding of SDS to the visits he made to Hanoi at the height of the war to bring home the first three POWs; from the demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic National Convention to the incredible trail of Hayden and the rest of the Chicago Eight. With equal openness, Hayden writes how he has struggled with the challenges and satisfactions of being a father, a husband, and a member of the California legislature. The riveting account of an extraordinary life that collided head-on with history." From back of book.
