by Robert Vincent Daniels

1996 · Harvard University Press

From Paris to Peking, from Saigon to Washington, the pillars of the postwar world tottered on the brink of collapse in 1968. This book is the first global analysis of that universal upheaval, from the Tet offensive and the abdication of Lyndon Johnson to the "cultural revolution" in China and the convention and riots in Mayor Daley's Chicago.
