Diary of a Young Man: 1968-1969

Coming of Age at a Cultural Crossroads

By: Dan Dana

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

His final two months of Army service in Vietnam — set free to pursue his pent-up dreams — hitchhiking through Central America — joining a cluster of hippies on a remote Mexican beach — recovering from a motorcycle crash with village priests in Honduras — struggling to find a path to his future on a sailboat in Panama.

Follow the author’s astonishingly candid daily jottings in this unique journal —once discarded, then recovered fifty years later, never intended to be seen by others.

Peek inside this unedited, unabridged, uncensored time capsule of a pivotal six months in a young man’s life and in America’s counter-cultural revolution — all fact, no fiction.

Vietnam vets, their families, aging hippies, and others who experienced this seismic chapter of the American story may find themselves in these salvaged pages.
