Beschrijving boek
The time is now. Major Norman Starr has been called before a Senate committee to testify on his undercover duties in Nicaragua and on possible dealings with Iran.
On the night before the hearing, Starr must decide whether he is to testify - or take the Fifth Amendment. In his agitation, he reflects on his own unblemished career, and on his own personal heritage: a long line of forebears that includes heroes, rebels, and outright eccentrics. The Starr who signed the Declaration of Independence; the Civil War general; the Supreme Court Justice who was strong on loyalty but weak on law. By morning, Major Norman Starr knows what he must do - and how he must do it.
James A. Michener’s new novel is compact, but has the scope of an epic. It is a vibrant story, with many echoes of the Iran/Contra affair, that will inspire his many readers.
