David Dellinger's autobiography has some excellent inside information.

he gives a great blow by blow report of the Chicago 7 trial. I think the book may be out of print now but I was able to pick up a cheap used copy of it off of Amazon last year

it covers the Democratic Convention but also encompasses all the other events of the year as well. It's a good read if you like 60's history http://www.amazon.com/1968-Year-That-Rocked-World/dp/0345455827/ref=sr_1_1/002-6834473-4302402?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182304966&sr=8-1
