The year 1968 was not only one of the most significant years in the 20th century, but it also shaped the future course of America as a country, bringing groundbreaking cultural, political, and societal changes that defined the modern era. This is the year when the civil rights movement took the nation by storm, a nation plagued by civil unrest, growing political divide, racism, and bigotry. In his book 1968: A Primer for Understanding Baby Boomers, Rick Robinson takes readers through this tumultuous year, month by month, sharing momentous events and the biggest stories of the year that marked the latter half of the 20th century. Apart from being the bloodiest year of the Vietnam War for Americans, 1968 also saw the assassinations of two of America's most influential and beloved leaders -- Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy.
Award-winning author Rick Robinson brings readers a pivotal slice of history in this absorbing book. In 1968, the author offers a glimpse into a fascinating period of American history that will affect and impact future generations of the world at large. In this book, you will learn about the origins of populism in American politics, the significance of the Vietnam War and how it spawned the anti-war movement, the civil rights movement and how it gave voice to marginalized communities and people, and polarized political ideologies that paved the way for the political and societal divide that we see in America today. This is one of the most informative, educational, and illuminating books I've read this year, especially concerning American history. Robinson's social commentary is spot-on and is particularly relevant for the 21st century. All in all, a gem of a book tailor-made for history enthusiasts.
