Nichter views 1968 as a watershed moment in American history.The opening pages of The Year that Broke Politics tick off a list of transformative events-the Tet Offensive, the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson's withdrawal from the presidential race, to name just a few-that have drawn the attention of scholars, journalists, and memoirists for decades.
