Freedom Bird: A Novel of the Summer of Love

During the Vietnam war, GIs who managed to survive their tour of duty in one piece ¿ more or less - were flown home in chartered airliners. They called those planes ¿Freedom Birds.¿ This is the story of three young men ¿ from wildly different backgrounds ¿ who meet on such a plane and make a pact to spend three days together in San Francisco.

Their goal: to spend every cent of their mustering out money in a party of a lifetime. And they¿ll get more than they bargained for: because when they land, it is July 1967 ¿ in a time that would come to be known as ¿The Summer Of Love.¿ A place and time where each young man will have to confront the ghosts who followed them home from the jungles of Vietnam and contemplate a future none of them had imagined.
