Playing with Fire

Pitch perfect non-fiction narrative. Pacing and structure are excellent. And everything is cited properly. The epilogue gets maudlin at the end though and I could have done without the last four pages.

This book is about more than 1968, although the presidential election that year is its focus and climax. I was 14, and so mostly oblivious to what was going on politically at the time. This book was an eye-opener.
