John Addison

John Addison is the author of 1969 Love and Promised Peace, a novel about a 21-year old who refuses to fight his father’s war, only to fight a greater battle within. In the year 1969, the United States was in turmoil, with frightening parallels to the nation today. With the background of Vietnam, Woodstock, and a nation divided in the Sixties, we follow David’s struggle to overcome emotional abandonment, as he becomes active in sex, psychedelics, soul-searching psychotherapy, help from his friends, and a confrontation with his father, an Admiral involved in secret bombing. John Addison is the author of over 300 articles about sustainable cities, clean energy, and the future of mobility. He lives with his wife Marcia in San Francisco.
