over here at my office at freewheelin media - www.freewheelinmedia.com - we are discussing Mai '68 a lot ... for one reason or another ... you will see why before long ... but it brought me to thinking about an amazing book that i have read twice ...
1968 - THE YEAR THAT ROCKED THE WORLD by MARK KURLANSKY
SYNOPSIS:
1968 was a year of political upheaval and protest around the world. In the U.S., there were the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the antiwar protests, the Chicago riot at the Democratic National Convention, and the Apollo 8 mission around the moon. In Vietnam, the Tet offensive was underway. Protests in France began the downfall of Charles de Gaulle's government. Soviet tanks rolled into Prague to quell the rebellion there. Mexico City police opened fire on university protesters
THIS IS A MUST READ TO ENABLE THE UNDERSTANDING OR WHERE WE ARE AT THESE DAYS ... A FEW OF US SHOULD TAKE NOTICE OF THE WAY THINGS WERE DONE BACK THEN ...
