About this audiobook
“An extraordinary and deftly crafted novel that combines interesting characters within an historically detailed background… a fascinating read from cover to cover.” – MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
From the war-shattered jungles of Vietnam to America’s burning cities, near-death in Tibet, peace marches, the battle of Hué and the battle of the Pentagon, wild drugs, rock concerts, free love, CIA coups in Indonesia and Greece, the Six Days’ War, and Bobby Kennedy’s last campaign, Freedom puts you in the Sixties as if it were now.
Mick leaves for the Himalayas while Troy heads to Vietnam with the Marines. Daisy starts her PhD in brain research, and Tara battles heroin as her rock band reaches stardom.
Troy is soon caught up in mind-numbing combat in Vietnam, while Mick returns to the States to lead the antiwar effort. Tara’s band signs a Motown contract amid the Detroit riots. At Stanford, Daisy expands her study of the human brain under LSD and other mind-altering drugs. Troy falls in love with a Vietnamese teacher and is slowly losing faith in the War.
Freedom ends the night before the Tet uprising in Vietnam that will change the War, and trap Troy and his beloved in the fires of hell.
Mike Bond
Called "the master of the existential thriller" (BBC), "one of America's best thriller writers" (Culture Buzz) and "one of the 21st century's most exciting authors" (Washington Times), Mike Bond is the author of eight best-selling novels, a war and human rights journalist, ecologist, and award-winning poet.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Trash. Bond writes as if he has a profanity quota, and it's not enough that he uses proverbial F-bombs repeatedly, he leaves no doubt that he is classless with usage of body part slang.
