      Synopsis

      A brutal war and political posturing . . . from a hillside in a war-torn country to Capitol Hill, accidents of time and place conspire to make Hector Collin a hero. Leaving behind the coal mines of his youth, he follows the life of a soldier, in peace and then in war. He rises above the rest, only to plunge into the depths of despair. He is an accidental hero, taking life as it comes, letting events drive him. That nearly costs him everything, including the woman he loves. Once acclaimed by his own generation, he is rejected by the people his honor makes him defend. Redemption, if it comes, lies in his decision to take charge of his life and go on. It is a different kind of heroism, one that must be deliberate, not accidental.

      September 20, 2007: Without cuss words - an everyday person becomes a hero. Without sex scenes - there is a love story. Without violence and gore - there is a war story. Terse and simple - like Hemingway - but has a lot to remember and think about. I enjoyed this book very much and recommend it. It might be a really good book for young adults too

      September 14, 2007: NOt a big book, but one that is full of situations and events and characters who will live with you for a long time. very thought provoking book about time and place and the true nature of heroism. All ideas that resonate in our own time and place. I highwly recommend this book to anyone who likes history and who is a thinking person.
