AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Michael Hyde spent the sixties opposing Australian and US involvement in the Vietnam War - a conflict at the heart of that turbulent decade. As opposition to the war grew exponentially, tens of thousands of young people took up the fight against it and the social ills of racism, poverty and inequality.

Michael's personal journey from Christian pacifist to student revolutionary was as wild as the sixties itself. Trips to the Cultural Revolution in China and to Cambodia to meet the Viet Cong, breaking the law, demonstrations, arrests, living on the run, communal houses, music, drugs and sexual liberation were all part of the rollercoaster of rebellion.'

Notes

  • Dedication:
    • For my generation, the ones who marched, stood up and rebelled against the system for so long - may our spirit never die.
    • For my brother, Peter, my sister, Laurel and brother-in-law, Ray for coping with me during those years.
    • For my children, Jesse, Shannon, Rebecca and Zachariah who took on board their father's stories and history with good humour - there may be some tales that I forgot to divulge.
    • And my darling Gabrielle for many things, but especially for saying, 'Tell everything. Don't back off. Tell it all.'
