1968: The Year That Rocked the World.
The famous year looked at from a global perspective. Why did so many diverse societies from the U.S. to Mexico, to Spain, France, Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Japan have such similar movements rising up spontaneously and doing the same thing at the exact same time. A New York Times and national Best seller translated into twenty-five languages. It won the American Library Association Notable Book of the Year Award. The Chicago Tribune wrote “Splendid… evocative… No one before Kurlansky has managed to evoke so rich a set of experiences in so many different places–and to keep the story humming.”
