Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In 1972: The Longest Year in History, Volume 2, Blake Lee Mahon plunges the reader into the heart of a world unravelling between May and August of the most pivotal year of the twentieth century. This volume chronicles a season where detente and destruction walked side by side-while Nixon signed arms control treaties in Moscow, American warplanes unleashed the heaviest bombing of the Vietnam War, mining Haiphong Harbor and igniting Operation Linebacker. The global stage was a paradox: superpowers promised peace at the nuclear level while fueling proxy wars below. At the same time, terrorism gained a new vocabulary-the Japanese Red Army and PFLP at Lod Airport, the IRA's Bloody Friday, and impending tragedy in Munich-proving that attention had become the most valuable weapon. The world's leaders negotiated survival in marble halls while cities, airports, and Olympic villages became battlefields of ideology.Yet this was also a season of profound transformation and fragile hope. The first Earth Summit in Stockholm gave voice to the planet itself, inaugurating a global environmental conscience, while Title IX and landmark court rulings redefined justice and equality. Idi Amin's brutal expulsion of Uganda's Asian community revealed how quickly a nation could be remade through cruelty and decree. Above the chaos, machines rose: Venera 8 pierced the violent atmosphere of Venus, and Landsat 1 looked back at Earth, forcing humanity to confront the damage it could no longer deny. And as Munich prepared to welcome the world with glass, hope, and innocence, a darker truth lurked-the world had learned to see everything, but not yet to protect it. This is the story of a year that refused to end, a summer where history did not unfold-it detonated. This item is printed on demand.
