Opis

Jack, Adam and Sam Berlin are first cousins, separated by time and place, yet bound by blood and heritage in the belief that there is no higher meaning in life then to stand against tyranny and oppression. Jack, the eldest cousin, joins the Army Air Force and pilots a B-17 through 25 missions over Nazi Germany. He survives the war, only to find home is no longer a place he belongs. He returns to the peaceful English countryside. His heart cries out for Betty Goodman, his first and only love. He sends for her and steps into the fire of a destructive cauldron Adam, the middle cousin, barely eighteen, moves to Israel to fight its wars. Seventeen years later, on the Upper Syrian Plateau, he orders his men forward, although the map grid no longer matches the terrain. His unit is ambushed. Wounded and bleeding, he is the sole survivor; a hero, who lives in the morass of his own guilt. Sam, five years younger than Adam, fights his war in the courtroom. He is the criminal defense attorney of Dr. Mark Renette, a prominent Orange County physician, accused of murdering his wife and her lover. Sam finally locates a witness who can alibi Mark, but Mark threatens to change his plea to guilty if the witness is exposed and testifies. Sam is caught in the moral dilemma of saving an innocent, uncontrollable client from the lynch mob of the jury and state imposed death by the needle.
