When America Turned
Reckoning with 1968
Much has been written about the seismic shifts in American culture and politics during the 1960s. In this elegantly written book, David Wyatt offers a fresh perspective on the decade by focusing on the pivotal year of 1968. He takes as his point of departure the testimony delivered by returning veteran John Kerry before the Senate Armed Services Committee in 1971, as he imagined a time in the future when the word Vietnam” would mean the place where America finally turned”. But turning from what, to what-and for better or for worse?
