The book explores that tumultuous year with an in-depth look at the key players in the 1968 political landscape: the politicians, the activists, and the press.
Michael Schumacher is the author and editor of many books, including biographies of Eric Clapton, Phil Ochs, Francis Ford Coppola, and Allen Ginsberg.
