Abstract Set during the Reagan era, Unlikely Heroes is a post-Vietnam, baby boomer novel dealing with oil and the environment, academia and violence, the military and the media. In it, Kelsey Mueller, a young female photographer from the oil fields of California, is an unlikely journalism professor at a ninety-five percent male military college in rural Massachusetts. As faculty adviser to the student newspaper she is befriended by a group of misfit students, unlikely heroes, as she battles first the student editor then her entire chain-of-command in order to improve the newspaper and her classes before she is terminated for not fitting in.
