The Unexpected Patriot

It's all here, a story that reaches back for more than two hundred years to showcase the many historical events that are destined to impact future generations, even if vast oceans do provide a continental divide. A love story, a story of murder, suicide, a man's love for family, country, and his surrender of his two sons during WWII, but builds a reluctance to give up a third to another war. The story of heroes, patriots, and the cowards who used their political power to deceive the American people by trying to make them believe the worst in some of America's best. And a storyteller that lays the deeds of two past presidents side by side and lets the reader decide if there was complacency in one or a vision in the other.
