Synopsis
While other writers contemplated the events of the 1968 Chicago riots from the safety of their hotel rooms, John Schultz was in the city streets, being threatened by police, choking on tear gas, and listening to all the rage, fear, and confusion around him. The result, No One Was Killed , is his account of the contradictions and chaos of convention week, the adrenalin, the sense of drama and history, and how the mainstream press was getting it all wrong."A more valuable factual record of events than the city’s white paper, the Walker Report, and Theodore B. White’s Making of a President combined."— Book Week"As a reporter making distinctions between Yippie, hippie, New Leftist, McCarthyite, police, and National Guard, Schultz is perceptive; he excels in describing such diverse personalities as Julian Bond and Eugene McCarthy."— Library Journal"High on my short list of true, lasting, inspired evocations of those whacked-out days when the country was fighting a phantasmagorical war (with real corpses), and police under orders were beating up demonstrators who looked at them funny."—Todd Gitlin, from the foreword

Reviews
The 1960s live again in this in-depth look at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. For the 1990s it is a cultural snapshot of one of the most tumultuous periods in our nation's history, involving the clashes amongst the conventioneers themselves as well as the turbulence from the black community, the hippies, the police, and an overzealous National Guard.
