Battleground Chicago

Frank Kusch has worked as a freelance editor, a communications consultant, and a political speechwriter. He is the author of All American Boys: Draft Dodgers in Canada from the Vietnam War.

"Frank Kusch's compelling account of the clash between Mayor Richard Daley's men in blue and antiwar rebels reveals why the 1960s was such a painful era for many Americans.... To his great credit, [Kusch] allows 'the pigs' to speak up for themselves." - Michael Kazin "Kusch's history of white Chicago policemen and the 1968 Democratic National Convention is a solid addition to a growing literature on the cultural sensibility and political perspective of the conservative white working class in the last third of the twentieth century." - David Farber, Journal of American History"
