"Sixty-eight" is associated with the name Rudi Dutschke in the Federal Republic. He was the face and voice of the German student movement, representing a new beginning and generational conflict like no one else. Ulrich Chaussy knows Dutschke like few others. His biography paints an exciting picture of a charismatic individual whose public life was tragically cut short when a right-wing extremist severely injured him in an assassination attempt. No one has stamped the 68 movement as much as Rudi Dutschke (1940-1979). His individual biography has become intertwined with the course of a collective movement, particularly through the assassination attempt on Maundy Thursday in 1968, which he narrowly survived and from whose late consequences he ultimately died. Ulrich Chaussy knows Rudi Dutschke like no one else.
