Prime Green explores the 1960s in all its weird, innocent, fascinating glory. An account framed by two wars, it begins with Robert Stone's last year in the Navy and ends in Vietnam, where he was a correspondent in the days following the invasion of Laos. Told in fascinating detail, Prime Green zips from coast to coast, from days spent in the raucous offices of Manhattan tabloids to the breathtaking beaches of Mexico to merry times aboard the bus with Kesey and the Pranksters. From these incredible experiences, the legendary novelist and master storyteller forges a moving and adventurous portrait of a unique moment in American history.
