Among the marchers is Norman Mailer. From his own singular participation in the day's events and his even more extraordinary perceptions comes a classic work that shatters the mould of traditional reportage. Intellectuals and hippies, clergymen and cops, poets and army MPs crowd the pages of a book in which facts are fused with techniques of fiction to create the nerve-end reality of experiential truth.The Armies of the Night uniquely and unforgettably captures the Sixties' tidal wave of love and rage at its crest and a towering genius at his peak.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionBook Series: Penguin Modern ClassicsTopic: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
