Summary
"The Chicago Conspiracy Trial" by John Schultz is an incisive and gripping account of one of the most explosive trials in American history. Set against the backdrop of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, this book vividly portrays the courtroom drama that ensued when eight men were charged with inciting riots. Schultz masterfully captures the tense atmosphere of a nation divided by war, civil rights struggles, and political upheaval. With a new introduction by Carl Oglesby, this edition offers fresh insights into the trial's significance and its enduring impact on American society. Ideal for readers interested in legal history, civil rights, and the tumultuous political landscape of the 1960s, Schultz's work is both a historical document and a compelling narrative of justice, dissent, and the American experience.
This book should be on the desk of anyone interested in comparing today's political climate with that in the explosive year of 1968. Does history repeat itself?
