To some, 1968 was the year of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Yet it was also the year of the Martin Luther King, Jr., and Bobby Kennedy assassinations; the riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago; Prague Spring; the antiwar movement and the Tet Offensive; Black Power; the generation gap; avant-garde theater; the upsurge of the women’s movement; and the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union.
In this monumental book, Mark Kurlansky brings to teeming life the cultural and political history of that pivotal year, when television’s influence on global events first became apparent, and spontaneous uprisings occurred simultaneously around the world. Encompassing the diverse realms of youth and music, politics and war, economics and the media, 1968 shows how twelve volatile months transformed who we were as a people–and led us to where we are today.

好像这一年是很多“大事”发生的一年，其实只不过又是平淡无奇的一年，"the earth must become as it appears: blue and white, not capitalist or communist, not rich or poor, not envious or envied"

补充了不少民权运动学生运动的知识，对冷战也大致有了印象，铺得太开不够深入，不过可以作为引子找其他书来看，最后根本就没怎么提rock嘛，尽管副标题还带个rock。。。
