WASHINGTON -- In recent weeks, France has been swamped with events commemorating the student uprising of May 1968 -- which actually started in March and finished in June. Less attention has been paid to the 40th anniversary of the student revolts in other countries, including the United States.
Was the May 1968 French uprising an anarchist attack on all forms of authority, as some libertarians believed? Was it an assault on conservatism, as its most visible leader, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, predicted?

In service of uncovering that complexity Berman, following up his equally fascinating left-wing call to arms against Islamic fascism/totalitarianism Terror and Liberalism, delivers a well-paced, beautifully written narrative tracking the evolutionary phases of Fischer, as well as some of h...
