Miami and the Siege of Chicago is a New Journalism book by Norman Mailer, covering the Republican and Democratic national party political conventions in 1968, as well as the anti-Vietnam protests. The Republicans chose Richard Nixon, the Democrats Hubert Humphrey, and Chicago streets were clogged with antiwar demonstrators, delgates, and police who beat and arrested them both.

Mailer, who attended the conferences on assignment from Harper’s, “analyzed events inside and beyond the convention hall with [a characteristic], and in this case perfectly appropriate, blend of intellectual grandiosity and journalistic acumen,” wrote A.O. Scott in The New York Times.
