Produktbeschreibung

At the end of May 1944, Stephen Wroth enlists in the army. By the time his war is over he will see his best friend killed in circumstances that suffuse him with guilt, commit murder, take part in the liberation of Dachau, and forge the worldview that will define him-and haunt him and his family for the rest of their lives.

By the1960s, Stephen is living a seemingly comfortable life with his wife, Annalise, and their three nearly-grown children. But when the family is swept up in the turbulence of Vietnam, antiwar protests, and the civil rights movement, the result proves calamitous. It will take events of the new millennium to bring the generations together, and help define them in surprising ways.

From World War II to Vietnam to Iraq, from New World Order to antiwar "mobes" to "Mission Accomplished," An Imperfect Certainty tells the dramatic, sometimes heartbreaking, ultimately uplifting story of the Wroth generations as they contend with the wars and social upheavals that define their times-and help illuminate our own.
