Description

In 1968, a nation teetered on the brink, and Norman Mailer was there to chronicle its unraveling. From the sweltering political conventions in Miami to the violent clashes in Chicago, Mailer plunges readers into the heart of a country torn apart by ideology, protest, and the relentless machinery of power. With his signature blend of incisive reporting and literary flair, he dissects the collision of media spectacle and raw reality, revealing the forces that shaped a pivotal, tumultuous year. This is a visceral exploration of a nation confronting its divisions, captured through the eyes of one of its most formidable chroniclers.
