"This is a major work on the relationship between radical politics and psychological development.... No one will be able to write about the left and radicalism without taking it into account." Nathan Glazer

Most commentators have portrayed the 1960s student radicals as the best of their generation, as young idealists struggling to democratize America. Rothman and Lichter emphatically disagree. Their provocative book, replete with interviews with members of SDS, the Weathermen, and other revolutionary campus organizations, paints a disturbing picture of these student radicals.

The book pays particular attention to why young people of Jewish background played so large a role in the American student Left, and in what ways their motivations differed from those of non-Jews. The book's myth-shattering findings are based upon two comprehensive psychological studies of American radicals and a smaller study of West German radicals and demonstrate that the idealism of the protestors often masked strong desires for power. The differences between Jewish and non-Jewish radicals stem from upbringing and family background, Rothman and Lichter show, and the tradition of Jewish radicalism derives less from humanitarian impulses
