1968: The Rise and Fall of the New American Revolution by Robert C. Cottrell, Blaine T. Browne

jchaisson's review against another edition

3.0

I didn't exactly finish this one, to be truthful. While I enjoyed that the book viewed that tumultuous year from several angles (politics, radicalism, environment, student protest, Eastern European unrest, MLK, the Chicago DNC, the Mexico Olympics, feminism, etc), and that each section was quite informative, I found the text quite dry and bland; it felt like the entire book was written as a giant infodump with very little direction or even commentary.
