THEY CAME FROM GENERATIONS OF WARRIORS: TWO PROUD AMERICAN FAMILIES DESTINED TO FIGHT, LOVE AND DIE IN THE FIRES OF WORLD WAR II

IN THE DUST OF ITALY AND AGAINST THE ENTRENCHED JAPANESE, THE LAST BLOODY DAYS OF THE WAR HAVE BEGUN.

The world is weary of war, and the men in combat face another long winter of bloodshed. General Preston Belvale, a battle-hardened war-horse, prepares to send thousands to their deaths in the liberation of Europe. Colonel Chad Belvale survives the folly and destruction of Monte Cassino -- only to confront greater losses on his return to London. Sergeant Eddie Donnely lives through the horror of torture, the beheadings at Bougainville, and becomes a guerilla fighter in the Philippines -- continents away from his dear wife and child. In Melbourne, he fights his own inner battle when he meets another woman. For these brave men and those around them, for such bold and steadfast women as Penny Belvale and Stephanie Bartlett, the last, most bitter days of the war are at hand. And when it is finally over, the world they once knew will never be the same....

They had fought side by side in 1776 and against each other in the Civil War. This is their story -- the epic saga of two noble families, and of their losses, honor and valor in a war like no other
