DESCRIPTION

Relive a pivotal moment in American history with Chicago 1968: The Whole World is Watching.

This powerful book captures the dramatic events surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention, where thousands gathered to protest the Vietnam War and demand peace.

In the summer of 1968, amidst the turmoil of Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy's assassinations, Chicago became the epicenter of cultural resistance.

Protesters clashed violently with police and National Guard troops, a confrontation broadcast live to the nation.

This book offers an immersive, on-the-ground account of those intense days through the words of acclaimed writer Terry Southern and the evocative photographs of Michael Cooper.

Edited by Nile Southern and Adam Cooper, Chicago 1968 features contributions from notable figures like Norman Mailer, Allen Ginsberg, and William Burroughs.

The book provides a vivid snapshot of a society in upheaval, capturing the chaos, passion, and fervor of the protests.

Perfect for history buffs and those interested in social movements, Chicago 1968 is a compelling tribute to the voices and visions that shaped a crucial chapter in American history.
