To some, 1968 was the year of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Yet it
was also the year of the Martin Luther King, Jr., and Bobby Kennedy
assassinations; the riots at the Democratic National Convention in
Chicago; Prague Spring; the antiwar movement and the Tet Offensive;
Black Power; the generation gap; avant-garde theater; the upsurge
of the women's movement; and the beginning of the end for the
Soviet Union.
In this monumental book, " "Mark Kurlansky brings to teeming life
the cultural and political history of that pivotal year, when
television's influence on global events first became apparent, and
spontaneous uprisings occurred simultaneously around the world.
Encompassing the diverse realms of youth and music, politics and
war, economics and the media, "1968" shows how twelve volatile
months transformed who we were as a people-and led us to where we
are today.
