"Ellen Schrecker shows how universities shaped the 1960s, and how the 1960s shaped them. Teach-ins and walkouts-in institutions large and small, across both the country and the political spectrum-were only the first actions that came to redefine universities as hotbeds of unrest for some and handmaidens of oppression for others. The tensions among speech, education, and institutional funding came into focus as never before-and the reverberations remain palpable today"--

From assassinations to student riots, this is “a splendidly evocative account of a historic year—a year of tumult, of trauma, and of tragedy” (Arthur Schlesinger Jr.). In the United States, the 1960s were a period of unprecedented change and upheaval—but the year 1968 in particular stands out as a dramatic turning point. Americans witnessed the Tet offensive in Vietnam; the shocking assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy; and the chaos at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. At the same time, a young generation was questioning authority like never before—and popular culture, especially music, was being revolutionized. Largely based on unpublished interviews and documents—including in-depth conversations with Eugene McCarthy and Bob Dylan, among many others, and the late Theodore White’s archives, to which the author had sole access—1968 in America is a fascinating social history, and the definitive study of a year when nothing could be taken for granted. “Kaiser aims to convey not only what happened during the period but what it felt like at the time. Affecting touches bring back powerful memories, including strong accounts of the impact of the Tet offensive and of the frenzy aroused by Bobby Kennedy’s race for the presidency.” —The New York Times Book Review

The book, People Like You, is a collection of inspirational stories about real life experiences of people from different periods of time. These stories will draw the reader into a comfortable, non-threatening climate of pleasurable reading that when introduced, the reader will be self encouraged to continue reading. I believe that People Like You will become a book that readers will be drawn to read, recommend, and read again. Readers will repeatedly recognize people much like themselves or someone familiar or family. The book’s prime purpose is to encourage all readers alike to initiate or rekindle relationships with the Almighty God. The intended message of People Like You, that God is real and alive, is delivered in a non confrontational format that each reader can identify and not be offended. Without a doubt, I believe that People Like You will become a book read for its positive influence on the lives of many Americans, one life at a time.
