Description:
<p><b>Set on a US college campus in 1964, <i>In the Defense of Liberty</i> is a powerful, fast-paced novel exploring gender nonconformity and the reach of history.</b></p>
<p>It's 1964, and the students at Merida University in Ohio can sense that something is brewing -- the campus is rippling with undercurrents of anger and alienation. As they work to make sense of the rapidly shifting cultural and ideological climate, the four main characters of <i>In the Defense of Liberty</i> are also consumed by their own personal dramas.</p>
<p>There's Mason, a history student growing his hair long and struggling to find anywhere he belongs. There's Lorianne, a young wife who left a promising career in academia when she got pregnant. There's Henry, Lorianne's husband, who is working year after year on his thesis, with no end in sight. And there's Jessie, a TA who has always been a bit of an enigma. Over one turbulent summer, the intense connections between these four characters take a number of thrilling twists and turns, with each relationship taken to its breaking point.</p>
<p>In this fascinating and fast-paced novel, Keith Maillard expertly captures the ethos of the mid-1960s and explores threads of gender and sexuality, while holding up a mirror to the roots of modern-day American polarization.</p><p><b>Set on a US college campus in 1964, <i>In the Defense of Liberty</i> is a powerful, fast-paced novel exploring gender nonconformity and the reach of history.</b></p>
