The year 1968 was a global earthquake, trembling with protests, riots, and seismic social change. Kurlansky takes readers inside the key flashpoints - the Tet Offensive, the Prague Spring, the Chicago Democratic Convention - to reveal how a single year forever altered the political, cultural, and generational landscape. As the world teeters on the edge of chaos, a new era struggles to be born.
