Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. [8],248 pages. James P. Carroll (born January 22, 1943, Chicago, Illinois, United States) is an American author, historian, and journalist. He has written extensively about his experiences in the seminary and as a priest, and has published books on religion and history. He won the 1996 National Book Award for Nonfiction for An American Requiem, a memoir about the Vietnam War and his relationships with his father, the American military, and the Catholic Church. He is the author of other books on religion and politics, including House of War, which won the first PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for non-fiction. Mr. Carroll's other works include the novels Secret Father, Prince of Peace, Mortal Friends in addition to plays and a book of poetry published. Carroll's work has received the Melcher Book Award, the James Parks Morton Interfaith Award, and National Jewish Book Award in History, and has frequently been named among the Notable Books of the Year by The New York Times. Derived from a Kirkus review: Carroll is to be applauded for this drama. The novel begins with David Dolan, an early '70s draft-dodger activist, returning to the U.S. after eight years as an academic in Sweden. David's hopes for a job at NYU fall through, so, distraught, he goes looking for his sister-in-law Eddie--widow of his killed-in-Nam brother. Eddie has been having her own problems: her remarriage to movie star Cheney McCoy has gone bad, and the main victim is her little son Bren. David tracks down Eddie just as she's flying off to protect Bren. David--sure that the FBI is on his trail--follows Eddie up to Maine. Cheney is soon flying his own seaplane to Maine--to reclaim Bren, to win back Eddie. Cheney grabs Bren and tries to fly off with him into a midnight storm; David and Eddie pursue, rescue Bren, and (apparently) drown Cheney; Cheney returns for some hand-to-hand combat; David and Eddie rediscover love. This has strong scene-work that reaffirms Carroll's talent. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Nancy Crampton (Photo) (illustrator).…
