Entertaining and scrupulously researched, Chicago '68 reconstructs
the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago--an epochal moment in
American cultural and political history. By drawing on a wide range
of sources, Farber tells and retells the story of the protests in
three different voices, from the perspectives of the major
protagonists--the Yippies, the National Mobilization to End the
War, and Mayor Richard J. Daley and his police. He brilliantly
recreates all the excitement and drama, the violently charged
action and language of this period of crisis, giving life to the
whole set of cultural experiences we call "the sixties." "Chicago
'68 was a watershed summer. Chicago '68 is a watershed book. Farber
succeeds in presenting a sensitive, fairminded composite portrait
that is at once a model of fine narrative history and an example of
how one can walk the intellectual tightrope between 'reporting
one's findings' and offering judgements about them."--Peter I.
