      abstract = {"The anti-authoritarian revolt of the 1960s and 1970s was  a watershed in the history of the Federal Republic of  Germany. The rebellion of the so-called '68ers' - against  cultural conformity and the ideological imperatives of the  Cold War; against the American war in Vietnam; in favor of  a more open accounting for the crimes of the Nazi era -  helped to inspire a dialogue on democratization with  profound effects on German society. Timothy Brown examines  the unique synthesis of globalizing influences on West  Germany to reveal how the presence of Third World students,  imported pop culture from America and England and the  influence of new political doctrines worldwide all helped  to precipitate the revolt. The book explains how the events  in West Germany grew out of a new interplay of radical  politics and popular culture, even as they drew on  principles of direct-democracy, self-organization and  self-determination, all still highly relevant in the  present day"--},
