Description
Like many baby boomers, David Haldane got swept into the turbulence of the late 1960s and early '70s, first as a radical activist and then a writer for an underground newspaper. Eventually, after self-imposed exiles in Europe and Mexico, he married, started a family and graduated to a significant position in mainstream journalism from which he chronicled many of the events that shaped an era. But Haldane always longed for something more, a "green leafy space" in which he could feel at peace. Finally, after a painful divorce, he found it in an unconventional way; with a dark-haired woman met on the Internet and wooed on the exotic islands of the Philippines. Nazis and Nudists is a series of poignant - and sometimes humorous - essays recounting that long journey. It is a story of love lost and love found. More importantly, it is about the lifelong spiritual quest for a place to call home.
Advance Praise
“In pursuit of the best impulses of his generation, Haldane followed his heart through the outermost extremes of our culture and times, lost it (and his soul) and found them again! The story is unflinching, wildly improbable and pretty scary in spots.” – Ken Borgers, Audible.com
“David Haldane’s thoughtful and provocative memoir pulls readers into the heart of the revolution of the late Sixties and early Seventies that seems so raw, at times, that it’s hard to believe it happened in the United States.” – Larry J. Dunlap, author of Things We Lost in the Night

What a wild and crazy life David Haldane has had. It's great fun to read about his adventures whether it be living with a six-foot African-American stripper or journeying halfway around the world to find a mail order bride. (He did this TWICE and luckily, the second time, it stuck). It's a fun, easy read and I related since I am also a former newspaperman. I wish him well.
