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.
