Product DescriptionThe 1960s were more than unique; they were without parallel. From rock and roll to the space program, drugs to free love, the Vietnam War to civil rights, equality for women to the assassinations of beloved leaders, they forever changed an entire generation. The Crusaders is a collection of stories... that ignores most of that. Instead, its about a group of friends who grew up in a bedroom community near Los Angeles, California, during those tumultuous and seminal times. From the innocence of pubescent naiveté to the experimenting of curious minds, The Crusaders takes the reader through the 60s from their youthful point of view with warmth, humor and good-natured fun. The Crusaders both celebrates the 60s and exposes the unintended consequences that resulted as they slipped deeper into the uncharted waters of the times. And how they paid dearly for their actions. At its heart, The Crusaders is about the friendship, loyalty and love for each other that anchored and enabled them to get through those chaotic times to the other side of healing.About the AuthorAward-winning author John O'Melveny Woods has written numerous novels including Return to Treasure Island, a sequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, Jesse James Secret, which has been made into a hugely successful History Channel show called Jesse James Hidden Treasure, and Lost Tomb of Alexander, his first novel in a new series of books based on The Seekers (www.TheSeekers.com).
