“Witness to the Revolution” is a compelling exploration of the transformative events in America during the tumultuous 1960s and early 70s. The book focuses on the myriad of radical movements that emerged in response to societal upheaval, including civil rights, anti-war protests, and countercultural shifts. It captures the voices of various individuals who directly participated in or were irrevocably affected by these movements, shedding light on their motivations and experiences.

The author delves into the personal stories of activists, veterans, and everyday citizens who witnessed the revolutionary changes firsthand. Through these narratives, the reader gains insight into the complexities of social justice, political dissent, and the quest for identity during a period marked by significant conflict and cultural evolution. Each story reflects a piece of the larger mosaic of America’s struggle for progress.

Ultimately, “Witness to the Revolution” serves not only as a historical account but also as a reminder of the resilience and spirit of those who dared to challenge the status quo.

All our human endeavours are like that, she reflected, and it is only because we are too ignorant to realize it, or are too forgetful to remember it, that we have the confidence to build something that is meant to last. Alexander McCall Smith

The Red Lion was a four-ale bar with a handful of lowbrowed sons of toil who looked as though they might be related to one another in ways frowned on by the Old Testament. Sebastian Faulks

The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.} Alexander McCall Smith

In fact, none of us knows how he ever managed to get his LLB in the first place. Maybe they're putting law degrees in cornflakes boxes these days. Alexander McCall Smith

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins. Mitch Albom

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes. Mitch Albom

When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole. Mitch Albom

we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization. Mitch Albom

But an ink brush, she thinks, is a skeleton key for a prisoner's mind. David Mitchell
