‘It was during that march

and later the same evening

that we got a glimpse of democracy-in-action,

Machiavelli/Gestapo-style,’

Terry Southern wrote.

 

Left to right:

Jean Genet,

William S Burroughs,

and Terry Southern

 

When the photographer who shot the Beatles

captured the moment the Vietnam war came home

Michael Cooper was most famous

for shooting candid moments with the Rolling Stones

and the cover of the Beatles’ 1967 album

Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

But in the summer of 1968

he found himself in Chicago to witness ‘America’s crack-up’

– as a police riot filled television screens

and an inter-generational conflict opened up

over the Vietnam war

Esquire magazine

assembled a team of world-famous writers

backed by a rock photographer

to cover the moment when extraordinary politics

needed something out of the ordinary:

 

left, to right,

French novelist Jean Genet;

beat poet Allen Ginsberg;

new journalism satirist Terry Southern;

and Beat Generation author William S Burroughs
