CHICAGO 1968 - Personal Reflections & Other Stories is a collection of short stories, both fact and fiction. Its lead story details the behind the scene action from the perspective of a Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey operative of what really happened in Chicago during the tumultuous 1968 Democratic National Convention that nominated Humphrey; including the political chicanery of Chicago political boss Richard J. Daley who tried to lure the remaining Kennedy brother, Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy, into the nomination process; the fight among Democrats prior to the convention amidst the specter of the Vietnam War; the intrigue on the convention floor; the riots in the streets; and police brutality in the convention headquarters hotel. There are 31 additional true stories pertaining to politics, military service, and business, all topical and humorous including one about working for Donald Trump's father Fred on a Coney Island construction project. The book ends with four fictional stories about the life of ordinary Americans.
