Product Details

Praise

“What happened when HUAC, the FBI, Jim Crow, corporate media outlets, drug warriors, the religious right, and even the Old Left tried to stop a freight train? Drawing on a broad range of sources, including FBI files, Whole World in an Uproar recounts that momentous story.” – Peter Richardson, author of No Simple Highway: A Cultural History of the Grateful Dead

“Aaron Leonard integrates an amazing amount of research into a story that ranges from FBI surveillance of the Old Left to the rock scene to the social dissension around the anti-Vietnam War and Black liberation movements. A well-thought through, fascinating documentary about movements and people who were affected by oppressive societal actions.” – Terri Thal, former manager of Dave Van Ronk and Bob Dylan

“A fascinating counter-history of the 1960s music revolution through the eyes of the persecutors, paranoiacs and culture warriors who tried to stop it.” – Dorian Lynskey, author of 33 Revolutions Per Minute: A History of Protest Songs

“Leonard’s foray into the past is enlightening.” – Tobias Carroll, Inside Hook

“Whole World in an Uproar is a great trip back for those who were there and, more importantly, an excellent and very readable history for those who weren’t.” – Ron Jacobs, Counter Punch
