| Publisher Description: A look at the lives of five young men, who, during the Vietnam era, start a commune in Australia????????????????????????and a look at how young men often look to the wild to find themselves, and the consequences this sometimes yields. The Rosebud Farm project was born of idealism, commitment, and virtue, all deeply rooted in friendships that have transcended distance and time. The men in this story, insulated by wealth and innocent of heart, were trying to make sense of a tumultuous world and to find some peace in it. One of these five young men was Charlie Dean, brother of Howard Dean, who has written the introduction. |
