The Democratic Party's National Convention The demonstrations outside the 1968 Democrat National Convention as well as the machinations inside the convention made for a very complex and chaotic event. John Schultz had press credentials and had access to what was happening inside the convention as well as the demonstrations. No One Was Killed is a street-level look at the confusion and chaos of the week. This is an essential addition to any reading about that period of time and the cultural phenomenon that changed society. Read in tandem with Nicolas Knowles Bromell's Tomorrow Never Knows (about the cultural shifts taking place with music and psychedelics during that period), provided me with some more insight to this fascinating period of time. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
While other writers contemplated the events of the 1968 Chicago riots from the safety of their hotel rooms, John Schultz was in the city streets, being threatened by police, choking on tear gas, and listening to all the rage, fear, and confusion around him. The result, No One Was Killed, is his account of the contradictions and chaos of convention week, the adrenalin, the sense of drama and history, and how the mainstream press was getting it all wrong. "A more valuable factual record of events than the city's white paper, the Walker Report, and Theodore B. White's Making of a President combined."--Book Week "As a reporter making distinctions between Yippie, hippie, New Leftist, McCarthyite, police, and National Guard, Schultz is perceptive; he excels in describing such diverse personalities as Julian Bond and Eugene McCarthy."--Library Journal "High on my short list of true, lasting, inspired evocations of those whacked-out days when the country was fighting a phantasmagorical war (with real corpses), and police under orders were beating up demonstrators who looked at them funny."--Todd Gitlin, from the foreword No library descriptions found. |
