Gitlin, a frequent contributor to various newspapers and magazines, has written a dozen books, chiefly on media and recent America, including The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage; Letters To a Young Activist; and, recently, The Bulldozer and the Big Tent: Blind Republicans, Lame Democrats, and the Recovery of American Ideals. A student activist during the 1960s, Gitlin was the third president of Students for a Democratic Society and helped to organize the first national demonstration against the Vietnam War.
