In 1972, an officer in the U.S. Air Force hitchhiked around the world and came back a conscientious objector. Along the way, he met John Lennon, traversed the Iron Curtain, smoked opium in Iran, smuggled turquoise over the Khyber Pass into Pakistan, and found his soul in the music of Afghanistan. He faced death in a storm at sea, battled with a bout of dysentery, and escaped the clutches of a dagger-wielding Argentinian lover in India. Through the characters he encounters, the officer is shaped and ultimately transformed. This rationale for peace and understanding between all cultures is his true story, and it is a fascinating look back at a time of self-examination by the United States and its young people.
