It's 1969. The Vietnam war is raging and American soldiers are dying along with thousands of innocent Vietnamese civilians. Anti-war activists stage protests from coast to coast, and the campuses at U.C. Berkeley, Stanford and SF State are in the midst of the turmoil. Blowing in the Wind is a novel told by two brothers, radical Kim and more conservative Michael, Kim's girlfriend, Gina, and the brothers' academic parents who all grapple with the conflicts that confront them. As the protests become more violent, Kim and Michael become hopelessly entangled in the explosive events that swirl around them.
