"Left behind were hundreds of burned-out buildings, whole blocks that looked as though they had been bombed into oblivion." These words, written by the Washington Post's Leonard Downie Jr., do not describe a war zone but rather the nation's capital reeling in the wake of the riots of April 1968. In the devastating aftermath of Martin Luther King's assassination, a community already plagued by poor living conditions, unfair policing, and segregation broke into chaos. These riots brought well-documented tragedy and heartbreak--not only among the families of those who lost their lives but also among those who lost their homes, possessions, jobs, and businesses. There was anger, fear, and anxiety throughout the city of Washington, DC, from the White House to the residential neighborhoods of the capital. There was an excruciating dilemma for President Lyndon Johnson. He was outraged by the violence in the streets, but he also keenly aware that African American citizens who joined the riots had legitimate grievances that his civil rights initiatives did little to address. J. Samuel Walker's Most of 14th Street is Gone takes an in-depth look at the causes and consequences of the Washington, DC riots of 1968. It shows the conditions that existed in Washington, DC's low-income neighborhoods, setting the stage for the disorders that began after King's murder. It also traces the growing fears produced by the outbreaks of serious riots in many cities during the mid-1960s. The centerpiece of the book is a detailed account of the riots that raged in Washington, DC from the perspectives of rioters, victims, law enforcement officials, soldiers, and government leaders. The destruction was so extensive that parts of the city were described as "smoldering ruins block after block." Walker analyzes the reasons for the riots and the lessons that authorities drew from them. He also provides an overview of the struggle that the city of Washington, DC faced in recovering from the effects of the 1968 disorders. Finally, he considers why serious riots have been so rare in Washington, DC and other cities since 1968. Walker's timely and sensitive examination of a community, a city, and a country rocked by racial tension, violence, and frustration speaks not only to this nation's past but to its present.

This important work by the Army covers the role of federal military forces in domestic disorders from 1945 through the Los Angeles riots of 1992. Some topics include: Little Rock, George Wallace, Riots, Civil Rights, March on the Pentagon, Washington DC riot, Newark Riot, Detroit riot, Kerner Commission, Martin Luther King Jr, Chicago Riot, Baltimore riot, Jesse Jackson, H. Rap Brown, Antiwar Demonstrations, Kent State, Wounded Knee, Vietnam War, Orval Faubus, James Meredith, Medgar Evers, Bayard Rustin, March on Washington, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Dwight Eisenhower, Stokely Carmichael, Black Power, Ramsey Clark, Abbie Hoffman, Robert Kennedy, Cyrus Vance, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Poor People's Campaign. Summarizing institutional and other changes that took place in the Army and in American society during this period, it carries the reader through the nation's use of federal troops during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s and the domestic upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s associated with the Vietnam War. The development and refinement of the Army's domestic support role, as well as the disciplined manner in which the Army conducted these complex and often unpopular tasks, are major themes of this volume. In addition, the study demonstrates the Army's progress in coordinating its operational and contingency planning with the activities of other federal agencies and the National Guard. Although this is a story of the U.S. Army's experience at a specific time in American history, the issues it addresses and the lessons to be learned transcend the period covered. If past is prologue, units from both the Army's active and reserve components will be called upon to deal with domestic civil disturbances at some future date. The relevant lessons gleaned from our Army's past include the value of highly disciplined soldiers, careful operational and logistical planning, flexibility, and the assumption of initiative at all levels of command. These hallmarks of a trained and ready force are invaluable not only during domestic civil support, but also during the full range of military operations the United States and its Army are likely to face in the twenty-first century. We commend this volume to you as useful lessons from the past that can be drawn upon to serve the future.

Research objectives are to enhance the understanding of social and psychological factors that incite, perpetuate, and enlarge civil unrest before and during civil disturbances, and to identify management techniques to be employed by the Army to counteract these social and psychological forces. Concentration is directed toward historical precedence for Federal intervention, the principles of collective behavior as applied to civil disorders, the social and psychological dynamics of American society which contribute to civil disturbances, the authority of a commander and his troops when ordered into a city to quell a riot, and the civil or criminal liability they may incur should they exceed their authority. Research methodology includes the study of individual and government research reports and an examination of academic documents containing current philosophies and doctrine.
