Summary

"While other journalists, including Norman Mailer, 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 the 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 adrenaline, the sense of drama and history, and how the main stream press was getting it all wrong." -- back cover
