    About this series

    “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.

      “America is a Coming-of-Age Masterpiece” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch “America is an extraordinary and deftly crafted novel that combines interesting characters within the context of an historically detailed background… an inherently entertaining… fascinating read from cover to cover… highly recommended.” – Midwest Book Review Coming of age is never easy. Coming of age in the 1960s was extraordinary. It was a decade that transformed America. After the post-World War II dreams of a healing nation, the Sixties shook America to its foundation - the assassination of an idealistic young president, a tragic and unpopular war, a battle for civil rights, a cosmic clash of riots and burning cities, and an explosion of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. For four young people, the Sixties is a decade of possibility. For Troy, it's the joy of living with his new family and exploring the world of flight and outer space. For Tara, the girl he loves, it's the power of song as she evolves into a rock and roll star. For Mick, a football star and reluctant rebel, it's a time to question everything, including his new brother's choice to fight in Vietnam. And for Daisy, the girl Mick loves, it's a chance to fight for equality, join the Peace Corps, and expand her study of the human mind. Set against the backdrop of our most turbulent decade, celebrated author Mike Bond's AMERICA is the first in his seven-volume historical novel series, capturing the victories and heartbreaks of the last 70 years and of our nation's most profound upheavals since the Civil War, a time that defined the end of the 20th century and where we are today.
