Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: David Obst's back-of-the-hand intimacy with the political and cultural climate of the times makes him uniquely qualified to pen the story of the baby boomer generation. A Los Angelean, he attended the University of California at Berkeley, majoring in Chinese studies. He and Seymour Hersh broke the My Lai Massacre story which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969. He aided Daniel Ellsberg with the Pentagon Papers and was literary agent for many of the important Watergate-era books, including John Dean's Blind Ambition and Woodward and Bernstein's All the President's Men. Obst is currently a writer and producer who has written a number of feature projects, including the classic, Revenge of the Nerds. He lives in Santa Barbara with his wife, artist Jane Gottlieb, and Dot the dog.
