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.
Includes index.
