The 1960s was a decade of social and political upheaval that reshaped every facet of American culture, from civil rights, through feminism, to gay liberation and the anti-Vietnam War movement.

Bernard Marin takes readers into the heart of this turbulent time in an anthology of historical fiction. Through Bernard's eyes, we join a young journalist who witnesses both the Chicago riot of 1968, and the uproarious trial of the ringleaders who came to be called the Chicago Seven.

We follow a university student who finds love while participating in the famous civil rights march over the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, and witness a chance encounter at a department store lunch counter that transforms a young, Southern white woman into a civil rights activist.

These colourful vignettes open a unique window into the most compelling chapters of the tumultuous 1960s.

Industry Reviews

This is a fascinating and informative collection of 13 fictional accounts of significant moments in the civil-rights campaigns across the USA, mainly during the 1960s ... an enthralling window into how people from all walks of life, races, genders, ages and religions ... united to confront ongoing racism and injustice, particularly in the southern states.

The stories - succinct and tightly written, each of about 15 pages - are both personally involving and historically instructive, with many intimate insights.

This work of historical fiction should enthral and inspire all those concerned with the protection and advancement of human rights in our troubled world of today.
