This book traces the tumultuous events in the year 1968 though the eyes of a twenty year-old who lived through it. This was the year when it became clear that the vietnam War would be lost by America and its allies. The assassinations of Martin Luther KIng and Robert Kennedy, the violent clashes of protestors in Paris and at the Democratic presidential convention in Chicago and the urban protests unleashed throughout the West, culminating in the violence and black power controversy at the Mexico Olympics was the defining year in the lives of the early baby boomer generation.
