In May 1968, France stood on the verge of full-blooded revolution.
Here a rhythmic, vivid evocation from eyewitness Angelo Quattrocchi
is complemented by Tom Nairn's cool and elegant appraisal to tell
the astonishing story of those heady days. Paris is a seething
battlefield of barricades, burning cars and CS gas. De Gaulle's
riot police publicly inform him that their loyalty can no longer be
taken for granted. Meanwhile students and millions of young
striking workers on the streets raise ideas that had previously
been the sole province of radical philosophers: "To forbid is
forbidden"; "Be reasonable ... Demand the impossible"; "Freedom is
the consciousness of our desires."
