A President who refused to run, a candidate murdered, war, riots and a photo finish. Those who expected the 1968 campaign to be predictable could hardly have been more wrong. The authors have not only covered this year but they have drawn a portrait of America in the act of choosing a leader. From the first beginnings of the McCarthy rebellion to the inauguration. They were there at the shooting of Bobby Kennedy and were gassed by Mayor Daley's police in Chicago. Interviews with Black Power militants, Ku-Klux Clan leaders, Marines in Khe Sanh and Professors at Harvard all contribute to this account.
