Odyssey: Love and Terror in Greece, 1969

Steve Fox had just started his second semester of graduate English study at the University of Texas in January, 1967, when he was drafted to serve in the voracious Vietnam War. But Fox, 23, kept his eyes open and learned how to adapt, resist, and avoid the war in Asia with timely help from a string of angels he meets. He got himself assigned to Athens Air Base in Athens, Greece, where Greek and American friends reveal the terrors of the dictators-known as The Colonels-running the country. In 1969 an ex-Greenwich Village folksinger and Steve's mentor in Athens, Allan Wenger, makes Steve part of the Greek Resistance to the Colonels. Steve and his smart and sassy American girlfriend drink deep of Greek ruins and lore, set a headlong course of self-reinvention as they return to the U.S. and Mexico, and explore the tangled path of love in revolutionary times.
