Abortion rights take center stage at the Supreme Court. China poses an existential threat. Black lives are under attack. The president battles the press as he seeks to subvert not just the political order but the rule of law itself. This is the \u003ci\u003eSummer of '71\u003c\/i\u003e--a pivotal season of hope and despair, missed opportunities and era-changing decisions. More than a half-century later, it's difficult to overstate the importance of events that defined the American experience during that fateful five-month period spanning May to September 1971. On May Day, President Nixon orchestrates a massive police-military response to disrupt the biggest anti-war demonstration in history. Two days later, the Supreme Court announces that it will take up \u003ci\u003eRoe v. Wade\u003c\/i\u003e. In the weeks and months that follow, friction escalates between the police and the Black Panthers, Congress debates universal healthcare, and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e publishes the Pentagon Papers. \u003ci\u003eSummer of '71 br\u003c\/i\u003eings it all to life through first-person accounts that are only now becoming available: the papers, diaries, and oral histories of key players. Award-winning journalist and author John A. Jenkins witnessed many of the events himself, and draws on a multitude of sources, including Nixon's White House tapes, to tell the story of that time as no one else could. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John A.
