I've not read Ted Morgan's book, Carrol, and as someone who was active in the 60's, have some opinions about that period.
Could you succinctly indicate what observations in Morgan's book breaks new ground or otherwise challenges some of the commonly held views about the 60's by radicals who participated in its events and organizations? That will help me decide whether it is worth setting aside other material to read it.
Sorry about the increased difficulty with your eyesight.
