The Strawberry Statement: Notes of a College Revolutionary

by James Simon Kunen (1969)

Columbia University, 116th St & Broadway, Morningside Heights

A first-person, darkly humorous account of the 1968 Columbia uprising that galvanized the anti-war, anti-establishment movement in the US and abroad. Fun fact: this book introduced the phrase "the shit hits the fan" to the language.
