Ong's Thought," I succinctly highlight Dr. Doris Kearns Goodwin's 2024 book An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s (Simon & Schuster) in the opening and the closing sections of my review essay. In the lengthy middle section, I construct my own personal history of the 1960s by highlighting the work of my former teacher in the 1960s, the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian and pioneering media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955) of Saint Louis University. In addition, in the lengthy middle section of my review essay, I highlight Stefanos Geroulanos' 2024 book The Invention of Prehistory: Empire, Violence, and Our Obsession with Human Origins (Liveright Publishing/ W.
