2. From Yale to Jail

David Dellinger's autobiography has some excellent inside information.

6. I second that...

he gives a great blow by blow report of the Chicago 7 trial. I think the book may be out of print now but I was able to pick up a cheap used copy of it off of Amazon last year

5. Mark Kurlansky's 1968

it covers the Democratic Convention but also encompasses all the other events of the year as well. It's a good read if you like 60's history
