A Nation of Mystics
by Pamela Johnson

Based on extensive research, A Nation of Mystics traces the lives of several members of the youth culture of the Sixties who travel from cities across the United States to San Francisco’s Haight Street and Berkeley’s Telegraph Avenue.  Determined to create a new world based on the ideas of peace and  love, they take with them the experiences of the Summer of Love and move to various parts of the globe—Humboldt County, Tucson, Maui, and India.

Over a five-year period these young people grow from flower-children into a new maturity, living first hand many of the events that defined a decade, among them, protests against the war in Vietnam, the fight for civil and equal rights, the first music concerts of the Avalon and Fillmore Ballrooms, People’s Park, and the Woodstock Music Festival.

A must-read for anyone wishing to know how the War on Drugs began and why the federal government has spent billions on a war that is now understood to be failed policy.

Release date:  December, 2009
