1968
Michael Kaufman
1968, THE YEAR AMERICA GREW UPFrom racial and gender equality fights to the struggle against the draft and the Vietnam war, in 1968 Americans asked questions and fought for their rights. Now, 30 years later, we look back on that seminal year--from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assasination to the Columbia University riots to our changing role among other nations--in this gripping introduction to the events home and abroad. The year we first took steps in space, the year we shaped the present, 1968 presented by a former New York Times writer who lived through it all, shares the story with detail and passion.

On January 30, 1968, during the early morning hours of the
most important Vietnamese holiday of the year, the North
Vietnam forces invaded South Vietnam in a campaign later
called the Tet Offensive. Besides the war in Vietnam, a lot
happened during the year 1968. Written by a New York Times
writer, the book "1968" describes all of these events in
great detail. Readers will be pleasantly surprised by the
stunning visual references and the easy-to-understand
