From the author of the political, historical novels Operation Underworld, The American Way and The Wolves of Calabria comes a tongue-in-cheek look, punctuated with serious overtones, at some of the main events of the past which have strained, shaped and directed the course of Western culture of the Sixties and Seventies. This collection of short stories and essays takes a private and personal POV at various events which, although experienced by the author, have affected tens of thousands. Stories of events meant to shed light on the grass roots effects of organized crime, the industrial collapse of the U.S. and the long range effects of America quitting the Space Race. Events which have two things in common, they were all bad for the people and all politically motivated. Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. - Voltaire
