In the spring of 1969, the campus unrest rippling across the nation finally arrived at Harvard when a band of student demonstrators took ever the main administration building. Less than twenty-four hours later, the local police, acting at the behest of the university administration, stormed the building and used tear gas and truncheons to eject the demonstrators.Roger Rosenblatt, a young instructor who found himself in the center of the chaos, later served on the university committee that investigated the uprising. Now, in this fascinating chronicle, he recreates the rage, the confusion, and the disillusionment of that time -- and shows how campus unrest changed not only university life, but society at large. Interviews with many of his contemporaries -- who included AI Gore, Michael Kinsley, Martin Peretz, Tommy Lee Jones, Mark Helprin, Frank Rich, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Chris Durang, and AI Franken -- make Coming Apart both a revealing personal history and a major work of cultural criticism.
