1968 was the year that defined the decade--Martin Luther King, Jr.
and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated, unprecedented antiwar riots
disrupted the Democratic National Convention, and the Tet Offensive
in Vietnam changed the course of the war. With this political
unrest came a breakthrough of American counterculture into the
mainstream led by students and protesters alongside the voices of
Aretha Franklin, Simon and Garfunkel, and Bob Dylan. Charles
Kaiser's 1968 in America is widely recognized as one of the best
historic accounts of the 1960s. Largely based on unpublished
interviews and documents (including in-depth conversations with
anti-war presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy and Dylan), this is
compulsively readable popular history. Now, fifty years later, and
with a new introduction by Hendrik Hertzberg, it is even more clear
that this was a uniquely terrible, wonderful, and pivotal year in
the story of America.
