A coming of age story about a son of German immigrants who struggles to find out who he is and who he will become at a time when the nation is doing the same. Explorations of hope at a time of doubt and despair. It's both history and fiction - sacred and profane - American Civil War and romantic adventure - philosophy and fun. It is a roller coaster ride with a semi-fictional character through real history as he meets many fascinating historical male and female characters. There is something here for everyone -- men, women, history lovers, deep thinkers, and those who just want a pleasurable action-packed diversion. A sensual run through a perennially popular era of American history that reads more like a movie than a book. A luxurious journey sure to stimulate imagination with action as well as the intellect with controversial ideas that make it as useful to a college seminar class as to conversations over coffee - if you dare.
