About the Book

You have met the characters in The Fall of '68. They are normal young people living through the most turbulent year of the second half of the 20th Century. Mike, a Vietnam combat veteran, returns to a nation that has suffered assassinations, riots, and political strife. He looks for the old life he left behind but must build a new one. Robert is a physics scholar who renews his friendship with Mike. Pete's a veteran too and takes up the life of a Hippie. Natalie is a strong willed young women that does not know the world as Mike knows it but wants to.
