Paris, May 1968. This is the Paris of the barricaded boulevards, of rebelling student strongholds, of the literati, the sexual anarchists, the leftists, written chillingly of a time in French history that closely paralleled what America went through in the late '60s. As the Revolution sweeps across Paris, the reader sees, feels, smells and fears the turmoil that was the May revolt, the frightning social quicksand of 1968.
