Description
1971 first Pocket Book edition. Spine is creased and is slightly separated from the binding. The pages have some tanning but are otherwise unmarked. The binding is secure.
This well-worn copy of Frank G. Goble’s “The Third Force” offers a fascinating glimpse into the turbulent era of 1960s counterculture and the rise of the New Left movement. Published in 1971, this pocket edition captures the zeitgeist of a generation disillusioned with the establishment and seeking radical social and political change. Goble, a sociologist and activist, provides an insightful analysis of the diverse groups that coalesced into a “third force” challenging the status quo, from civil rights activists to anti-war protestors and student revolutionaries. With its creased spine and tanned pages, this copy bears the marks of its time, having likely been passed around and pored over by idealistic youths seeking to understand the forces shaping their world. For collectors and readers interested in the cultural upheavals of the 1960s, this affordable edition offers a valuable primary source, imbued with the spirit of an era that forever changed the American social and political landscape.
