Home at the Edge (Memoirs of a 1960s Hippy)

Ronald Schulz

HOME AT THE EDGE takes you from jail to the madhouse, an on-the-road and in-the-streets memoir of free-loving, acid-dropping radical youth in 1969. We last saw 17-year-old Ron lying handcuffed over the hood of a car in “Chicago Rage.” We pick up with him entering Chicago’s Cook County Jail, where he and his radical companions are kept segregated from the other prisoners to prevent them from--god forbid--being a bad influence on murders and rapists. He is bailed out only to be admitted to a mental hospital where he bonds with other disaffected youth, fellow ‘freaks’ grappling with their identity and struggling against the status quo. The attempted and successful suicides of his comp...

Saving Grace at Guantanamo Bay is about that historic experience, and it relates not only what it was like for Granger to live and work at Gitmo, but about the sacrifices made by him and his fellow Reservists serving around the world."

Sean Griobhtha

“Sean's book truthfully takes the reader through a horrendous 2.5 years of deception and death, and 40+ years of locking away emotions and truth. His compassion comes through as he describes the aftermath of PTSD. This is a narrative that is jarring and unsettling, but there is a sense that knowing the true invites us to change the reality of our love affair with the military. We can wake up, become aware of what we have allowed to happen with the trillions of dollars spent to kill and ravage other countries (all in the name of America), and change the trajectory of our role in the world. There is hope if we are honest and learn from our past.” (Jules Bond)“This is NOT another patrioti...
