The Fire Last Time: 1968 and After - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In 1968 history took an extraordinary turn. The black ghettos in the US erupted in protest at the murder of Martin Luther King. The Tet Offensive by the Vietnamese National Liberation Army humiliated the world s most powerful military machine. Soviet tanks crushed the 'Prague Spring'. And millions of French workers joined the biggest general strike in history.

Time and again, the powerful were shaken by radical and revolutionary movements that took root in 1968 and the years that followed. These struggles deserve to be remembered and celebrated. Chris Harman, himself a protagonist in the drama he describes, offers an authoritative account not just of the high points reached by these movements, but also, crucially, how they were ultimately contained.

This classic work, reissued for the 50th anniversary of 1968, contains powerful lessons for today.
