In Liberating Strife: A Memoir Of The Vietnam Years: Volume 1, The Track Of A Storm

The first of a two volume set, Volume 1, The Track of a Storm, covers Atkinson's life from the last year of high school (1963-1964), his years at the University of Minnesota (1964-1969), and his Basic Training in 1969. During this time Vietnam slowly but inexorably becomes the primary focus of national attention as America's intervention in the war ultimately emerges as the defining event of the Baby Boomer generation. The national turbulence generated by the conflict between those opposing and supporting the war soon begins to act as a catalyst for heated and sometimes violent confrontations over a host of other issues, such as racial and sexual equality, as the nation finds itself embroiled in an era of discord and tumult that would have been unimaginable during the relatively staid Eisenhower years.
