<DIV><DIV><b>Before, during, and after World War II, three generations of men make their mark on the world in acclaimed author Dorothy Salisbury Davis&rsquo;s vibrant, thought-provoking novel that scrutinizes the conscience of men in a time of crisis</b></div><BR>As Europe slides toward war, the faculty of a midwestern university fight a crusade of their own&mdash;the campaign against Communism. The local publishing magnate has accused economics professor Jonathan Hogan of being a Red, and the scholar is forced to defend himself in front of the university&rsquo;s elders. They spare him, for Hogan is no Communist&mdash;merely a free thinker, open and honest in an age when conformity is the norm. When war threatens the United States, he is one of those whom his country will need most.<DIV><BR>Jonathan goes into civil service during the war, advising the government on the economic impacts of the conflict. His son Marcus takes a different route, studying surgery in an attempt to heal those whom the savagery of war has maimed. And, years later, Jonathan&rsquo;s grandson Tad will follow his own conscience, too, when he comes violently of age. But what are the consequences of standing by one&rsquo;s principles in an era when darkness threatens to overwhelm civilization?</div><DIV></div></div>
