".this is an excellent addition to the ever-expanding canon of 1960s studies. Slobodian breathes life into the relationship between West German and Third World students as it existed not in the imagination, but on the ground. By examining this interaction, he illuminates the myriad ways in which the Third World enlivened West German radicalism, and the various contributions that these students made to the movement." - Zachary Scarlett, H-Diplo , August 2012"This carefully researched and well written book convincingly brings the foreign students and international influence back into the story of the 1960s in Germany." Peter C. Caldwell, author of Love, Death, and Revolution in Central Europe: Ludwig Feuerbach, Moses Hess, Louise Dittmar, Richard Wagner "The topic is fascinating; the core thesis is provocative; the research is stellar; and the writing is wonderful. This is a bold, exciting book that can and will get a lot of attention.
