Battleground Chicago ventures beyond the stereotypical image of rioting protestors and violent cops to reevaluate exactly how-and why-the police attacked antiwar activists at the convention. > "Frank Kusch's compelling account of the clash between Mayor Richard Daley's men in blue and anti-war rebels reveals why the 1960s was such a painful era for many Americans. . . . to his great credit, [Kusch] allows 'the pigs' to speak up for themselves."-Michael Kazin "Kusch's history of white Chicago policemen and the 1968 Democratic National Convention is a solid addition to a growing literature on the cultural sensibility and political perspective of the conservative white working class in the last third of the twentieth century."-David Farber, Journal of American History
