While In Darkness There Is Light: Idealism and Tragedy on an Australian Commune Kindle Edition

by Louella Bryant (Author), Howard Dean (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 4 ratings
For many young men, it is not until they strip away everything they’ve known that they can begin to live according to the morals and values they believe are truly their own. Some fall victim to poor judgment and an ingenuous trust in human nature that leads them to suffer deadly consequences. In 1970 a group of young American ex-pats from wealthy families dropped out of college and establish Rosebud Farm in Far North Queensland to establish their ideal society. When Charlie Dean, a headstrong farm resident for the past year, decides to leave and explore Southeast Asia, he and an Australian companion are captured by Laotian communists and held in a rainforest prison camp. In spite of the Dean family’s efforts, both young men suffer an unthinkable fate.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story, Well-written
    Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Drawing on first-person accounts and diligent research, Louella Bryant takes the reader on a journey back to the tumultuous Viet Nam War era of the 60s & 70s, and the lives of young expats living on a commune in Australia. She weaves a many-hued tapestry of stories, whose outcomes are as varied as the commune members themselves. An Afterword written by Howard Dean, former governor of Vermont, about his late brother Charlie--who is a main character in the book-- adds gravitas as it brings the story into our time. I highly recommend this book!
