Perry Deane Young Bücher

On April 6, 1970, Vietnam War photojournalists Sean Flynn (son of Errol Flynn) and Dana Stone set off on two rented motorcycles to cover one last story and were captured by Communist forces, never to be seen or heard from again. Their friend and fellow journalist, Perry Deane Young, tells their story here in a remarkable memoir first published in 1975. This new Press 53 Classics edition features photos by Flynn, Stone, their friends Tim Page, Nik Wheeler, and others, including a new chapter with updates on the lives of those involved and the ongoing search for two of the missing.

The narrative centers on Frankie Silver, who, in 1831, killed her abusive husband in self-defense and faced a tragic fate due to the legal constraints of her time. Author Perry Deane Young, with familial ties to the case, uncovers the truth behind the widely misrepresented story of her life and trial. He reveals how historical accounts and popular ballads have distorted the reality of her actions, arguing that the true injustice lies in the enduring misconceptions surrounding her case, leading to her wrongful execution in 1833.

Exploring the complexities of dreams and their impact on reality, this book delves into the psychological and philosophical implications of dreaming.

The narrative challenges readers to consider the boundaries between aspiration and illusion, inviting a deeper understanding of the subconscious mind and its role in shaping our lives.
