However, in Generation '68: The Elite Revolution and Its Legacy, prolific author Kerry R. Bolton argues that the supposed \"grassroots\" youth revolt of the 1960s was anything but; instead of a bottom-up revolt of the youth, it was in fact a top-down revolt of the elites. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBolton echoes the assessment that both the left and its supposed antithesis, capitalism, share in their roots a rebellious spirit against authenticity, and he goes on to stress how the manipulation of the \"youth revolt\" played a primary role in what has brought us to the modern predicament, a world completely lacking in objectivity and authenticity. Generation '68 exposes the phoniness of the 1960s youth revolt for what it is and delves into its various aspects and effects, including: the Cold War CIA origins of certain youth movements; the \"hip capitalism\" of Woodstock, Hair, and Hollywood co-optations; federal agency and foundation funding for \"radical\" groups, including Students for a Democratic Society (SDS); the '68 \"revolts\" in Paris, the United States, and Prague; and employment of New Leftists in the Peace Corps, VISTA, etc. \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking advantage of the fact that these events were thoroughly documented, Bolton uses an extensive trail of evidence to make his case.
