Gates of Eden follows a handful of young rebels as they band together to create the most powerful antiwar movement in history. From their scattered beginnings through a surge to resistance, Gates' colorful characters invite us to join them as they transform "hell no, we won't go," into a celebration of collective action, shared consciousness, sexual revolution, and the realization of their dreams.
Praise for Gates of Eden...
Gates of Eden is no sentimental apologia for the Sixties. It's the real deal. Charlie Degelman was there, living his life for keeps, moving at the same breakneck pace as his characters. I know. I was there with him. -- Peter Coyote, actor, author, Sleeping Where I Fall
Degelman's boisterous characters take us on a freewheeling ride through the Vietnam antiwar movement. Gates of Eden resonates as a new generation embarks on its own journey of resistance and rebellion. -- Eric Watson, filmmaker, Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain
Gates of Eden is an important novel. Excellently written and profoundly moving, Degelman explores the tangled relations of a country at war -- not only in Southeast Asia but at home, with itself." -- Sharon Dilworth, author, Year of the Ginko
