With a group of reluctant Army Reservists, plus their wives and lovers, as its focus, FOOL ME ONCE visits San Francisco in pre-flower child 1964. If you've ever wondered where "The Sixties" really came from, and why, let this book be your guide. Moreover, it could be a guide to today, since the dilemmas of war and peace facing Pieper's characters at the dawn of the Vietnam era mirror those America's "twenty-something" and college generations must deal with now. "...a story of common occurrences in uncommon times... and that's what makes reading this novel such a blast... one that will stick with you long after the last page..." D.
