Pays honest tribute to the spiritual search of a generation that transformed the politics-then the heart and soul-of America \nIn this intelligent memoir, actor Peter Coyote relives his fifteen-year ride through the counterculture-a journey that took him from the quiet rooms of privilege as the son of an East Coast stockbroker to the riotous life of political street theater in San Francisco. Chronicling revolutionary economic theories and chaotic encampments, Coyote offers blunt, affectionate, and often comic portraits of fellow travelers. \nIn prose that is graphic and unsentimental, Coyote's memoir is his attempt to understand the path he forged, and the distance between the extremes in a spectacular life.
