About This Item

World Pub. Co. hardcover. Good/Good. 6x4x0. Our copy is from a private collection. It is a 3rd printing (1969) and has a black DJ. DJ is intact but has age-appropriate toning and mild foxing. DJ is now in new mylar cover. Moderate foxing to page tops and age-appropriate tanning to pages. PO name and date inside front board. Other than the state detriments, book is tight and square to the point that the PO may have just shelved it and never read it! In-stock and ready to ship!

Synopsis

In this landmark work of journalism, Norman Mailer reports on the presidential conventions of 1968, the turbulent year from which today’s bitterly divided country arose. The Vietnam War was raging; Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy had just been assassinated. In August, the Republican Party met in Miami and picked Richard Nixon as its candidate, to little fanfare. But when the Democrats backed Lyndon Johnson’s ineffectual vice president, Hubert Humphrey, the city of Chicago erupted. Antiwar protesters filled the streets and the police ran amok, beating and arresting demonstrators and delegates alike, all broadcast on live television—and captured in these pages by one of America’s fiercest intellects.
