Trials and Tragedies

This book attempts to shed some light on Phil Ochs' activities during the historically rather important year of 1968. The essays deal with his performance at the Burg Waldeck festival, the events during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and his album Rehearsals for Retirement. In addition to photographs, newspaper articles and facsimiles, it also contains interviews given by Phil Ochs during his tour of Germany and Denmark.
