About This Book
The Sixties -- The decade you love to hate or hate to love. Hippies & War; Sex, Drugs, & Rock 'n Roll; Yada-yada-yada. But during those years of free love and psychedelic trips, American ingenuity and industry not only fought a war, but also put a man on the moon. In the Black follows the odyssey of a father and son as they each pursue happiness on opposite sides of the Generation Gap.
In 1965 Part 2 (Episode 2), Y.T., Jr. watches one high school buddy go off to Columbia University and another join the Marines, knowing that Erp Industries Inc. is ramping up production to supply the ravenous Vietnam War machine. As his father accepts the biggest challenge his company has ever tackled, worker unrest and an unexpected threat from his mother's brother, signal turbulent times ahead.
