Freedom Bird [Paperback]

Allan Cole (Author), Chris Bunch (Contributor)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 23, 2009

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.” It’s 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.
