Conspiracy In The Streets by Jon Weiner
Opening at the end of 1960, the Chicago Eight trial bought Yippies, anti-war activists and Black Panthers to face conspiracy charges, arising from the protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. This book contains a transcript of the trial, and drawings help recreate the atmosphere of the courtroom.
