Book Review: Making History Significant
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing look at 1968 with quotes, pictures, articles and interveiws. The photo's, many awardwinning, help me as a young person who did not experience the year to see and feel some of the tensions. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in history in general or more specifically American history in the 1960's
Summary of Time 1968: War Abroad, Riots at Home, Fallen Leaders and Lunar Dreams - The Year that Changed the World (with CD)
Forty years later, America is still feeling the aftershocks of that earth-shaking year, 1968. It was a time when history seemed to accelerate, and the nation hurtled, full speed, into chaos and division. Two symbols of hope, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., were assassinated. Lyndon B. Johnson, beaten by the war in Vietnam--where 450,000 young Americans fought for their lives in the jungle--declared he would not run for the presidency again. Rioters battled police in Chicago, while rockers and hippies shook, rattled and rolled the culture. The year ended on a final note of blessing, when three U.S. astronauts, the first men to orbit the moon, read from the book of Genesis on Christmas Eve.Join TIME - and eyewitnesses who recall their experiences in those feverish days - to relive the highs and lows, the joys and tragedies, and the enduring consequences of that remarkable year.
