A Lesion of Dissent
| Karl Drobnic
| Sheltering in the ancient tombs of the sacred Valley of the Kings as the Arab-Israeli “Lightening War” erupts, American exile Paul Rhodes consummates a seduction that scandalizes war-torn Egypt. Escaping arrest, he flees through the corrupted countries of post-colonial Africa and Asia, buffeted by the smuggling, black marketeering, and idealistic fervor that marked those nations' passages to independence. But memories of Carol, the Berkeley Free Speecher and acid rocker of his exotic liaison, thrust him ever deeper into the turbulence of the Sixties, and impel him country by country back to the US and to a stunning confrontation with the military establishment that stands between him and the woman he loves.
