1968 was a pivotal year in the United States and worldwide. For baby boomers, it was particularly

eventful as they were in the eye of the storm of the political and cultural changes that were rocking the

nation. Contributors to this book were asked look back to that year and write down their

remembrances. Though mostly west-coast stories, when viewed as a whole, they provide an intimate

and moving description of what typical "kids" went through in 1968, stories that could have just as well

come from anywhere in the country.
