New chapters on the Detroit riot of 1967,

the Columbia University student revolt

of 1968, a new introduction, and a new

conclusion bring up to date this chronicle

of major riots in American history from

colonial times to the present--the condi-

tions that led to them, the stormy courses

they ran, and the social changes they

helped to bring about.

Of the original edition, published in

1966, The Bulletin of the Center for

Children s Books commented:

"Objective, detailed, and well-organized,

the text gives an interesting picture of the

spectrum of causes that have moved men to

violence in our history and now in our

time. A lnng and impressive fist of sources

and readings, divided by chapters, is ap-

pended."
