Jacob Levy, a young soldier from St. Louis, has never given much thought to politics, world affairs, or his own Jewish heritage, but after the liberation of Dachau, he confronts the horror of the Holocaust and takes his own violent revenge. Jolted into a new understanding of humanity's connectedness, he comes to terms with his own Jewish identity and grapples with questions of individual moral responsibility that are still contemporary fifty years later. In her afterword, Martha Gellhorn traces the roots of the novel in her own experience as a war correspondent who first heard of the Nazi concentration camps during the Spanish Civil War and herself got to Dachau a week after American soldiers discovered the camp at the end of a village street. Martha Gellhorn, the renowned war correspondent and peacetime journalist, is the author of The Face of War and The View from the Ground. Her much-admired fiction includes Weather in Africa and Honeyed Peace: Stories. 271026 1989 Point of No Return total:12|5:4|4:1|3:4|2:3| 12 42 20 3 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Mon Dec 24 07:27:26 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 24 07:27:26 -0800 2007 more...]]> 2 0 true false Fri Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon May 28 21:37:32 -0700 2007 Mon May 28 21:40:57 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Mon May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2000 Tue Dec 18 05:24:12 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 18 05:25:47 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Sat Oct 24 02:03:10 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 02:03:10 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Aug 30 07:27:16 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 07:27:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 01 14:31:41 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 14:31:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 02 19:41:41 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 19:41:41 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue May 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 12:12:47 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 12:10:03 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Jan 23 13:44:35 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 23 13:44:35 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jan 20 19:05:59 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 19:05:59 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jan 20 18:16:41 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 18:16:41 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Dec 29 06:23:37 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 06:23:37 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri May 16 11:55:01 -0700 2008 Fri May 16 11:55:01 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Mar 14 08:22:32 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 14 08:22:32 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Feb 29 07:03:14 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 29 07:03:20 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Fri Feb 22 11:26:16 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 22 11:26:26 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Fri Aug 24 15:20:50 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 24 15:20:50 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Fri Oct 05 18:42:34 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 23 17:47:43 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 23 17:47:49 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Thu Aug 23 08:25:38 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 23 08:25:38 -0700 2007 2 0 false false Thu Mar 08 10:05:15 -0800 2007 Thu Mar 08 10:05:15 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=279421
