- Summary
- Protests and demonstrations, sometimes violent, swept the globe in 1968, from the Americas to Europe, Africa, and Asia. The introduction to this collection of essays notes: "...the rebellious young people of 1968 sincerely believed they were involved in a struggle against established orders (and world orders) worldwide." Herein one finds accounts of the anti-war left, the Prague Spring, and dozens of other protest movements.
