Walter Brasch's latest journalistic novel, Before The First Snow: Stories From the Revolution,
looks at the counterculture of America from 1964 to Jan. 15, 1991, the
eve of the Persian Gulf War. Underlying plot themes look at nuclear
energy, the environment, the anti-war/peace movement, civil rights,
worker rights, and the American mass media. Its topics are as relevant
now as they were a generation ago.

Critical Acclaim
"An exceptional writer" — Michael Blake, Oscar(R)-winner for Dances With Wolves
"First-rate fiction that explores and contemplates modern American history, culture, politics and journalism. A rare combination of excellent fiction-writing and deep thought. Wonderful story-telling interwoven with sharp insights about our times and culture. There are so many fresh sunbursts of thought in this book that I lost count. What Brasch and his characters have to say about the intermingling of corporate and government power alone makes this book worth reading—but it is rich in illumination of many other important issues we all should be pondering. You can’t put it down while reading it, and can’t forget it after you’ve finished it." —Dan Rather
