1968 : marching in the streets

In the 1960s, from Paris to Pakistan, Mexico to Prague, students, socialists, workers, intellectuals and artists participated in a political, cultural and sexual revolution that challenged the established order from Washington to Moscow, reaching a crescendo in 1968.This volume looks at the people and events that made 1968 a memorable year in contemporary history, from anti-Vietnam action across the USA and beyond to the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia to the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King.
