"For the blink of an eye in the 1960s, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), was the 900-pound gorilla on the American left, commanding center stage and drawing up the game plans for anti-war and radical activity. And yet by the end of the decade it was more like Franz Kafka's Hunger Artist: alone, self-isolated, emaciated, a victim of its own delusions and blunders. ... But there are other histories, thousands of them that make the movement harder to pin down tidily: the personal stories of individuals who gave their lives to it, and it is those stories that historian Paul Buhle, artist and writer Harvey Pekar, and artist Gary Dumm attempt to capture in their 'Students for a Democratic Society: A Graphic History.' ..."
