Unhappy Warrior: The Life and Death of Robert S. Starobin

Peter Adam Nash,Rachael Starobin Davis,Linda Rennie Forcey

Based on extensive research and interviews, Unhappy Warrior is a stirring examination of the life and death of the radical left-wing historian, professor, and activist, Robert S. Starobin. Son of renowned communist and Foreign Editor for the Daily Worker, Joseph Starobin, Robert Starobin was a leading figure in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Free Speech Movement (FSM) at the University of California at Berkeley, as well as an early supporter of the Black Panthers. As a student, and later as a professor and historian at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, he defined his short life as a struggle against injustice, protesting everything from university policies and curricula to racial discrimination, nuclear testing, and the war in Vietnam. Unhappy Warrior is a complex and compelling depiction of life in the U.S. in the years during and immediately following the Vietnam War-a violent, bewildering, still largely unresolved chapter in the history of this nation.
