Set against the rise and fall of the radical antiwar group the Weather Underground, The Company You Keep is a sweeping American saga about sacrifice, the ecstatic righteousness of youth, and the tension between political ideals and family loyalties.
When Jason Sinai, one of the last Vietnam-era fugitives still wanted on murder charges for a robbery gone wrong in 1974, encounters a young newspaper reporter in search of a story, he must abandon years of safe underground life for the dangerous life of the road - traveling across America and deep into his past. It is a vivid recreation of lives lived underground - of battle-scarred veterans, ideologues, profiteers, criminals, and bystanders.

What did you like about this audiobook?
I grew up during the "radical" anti war movement. I found it interesting how the author portrays the later years of activists lives.I loved this book!

It???s a message to the millennial generation and a reminder to all of American 20th century social and political history; It also wants to echo current events. It???s a mystery, love stories, and both a novel of ideas and of individuals and a nation coming of age. It begins very left leaning but becomes more balanced. Mostly it???s about how we construct history, both personal and political. Failed idealism drives the story, but light and hope are never totally absent figuratively or literally.
Although the third quarter of the book becomes a bit wordy and repetitive (we get it by then!), it still seems to me the best audiobook of the year to date. I hope that Redford accomplishes with this material what he almost accomplished with Lions for Lambs. The personal is political, and vice versa.
