On 1968
Kurlansky, Mark. 1968: The Year That Rocked the World. Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2005. pp. 480. Paperback.
Kurlansky doing what Kurlansky does, taking a topic that he loves and popularizing it (although I don’t know that 1968 necessarily needs popularizing, but he distills the events here). At the same time, it feels a bit weak. There are countless books on the Global 60s, and just about all of them are better than this.
