Description
A strikingly innovative and powerful story. Death Coming Up the Hill portrays the momentous events of the year 1968; the escalating war in Vietnam, the explosive Democratic Convention in Chicago, the Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy assassinations, the menace of the draft, and rampant racism as seen through the eyes of a perceptive seventeen-year-old American male. Told in verse with 52 episodes one for each week of the year.
