Synopsis

THE PATRIOT is a dance of the damned by three characters  wounded by the ravages of war. Returning home they battle waterfront crime and corruption, leading an-anti-war movement, and fighting the military judicial system's sexism and injustice. Their love and courage calls for restoration of the moral authority essential to democracy. Trapped by violence and cruel truth of war, THE PATRIOT dramatizes the courage and imagination needed to change a future determined by patriotism. In a morally bankrupt society, three brave citizens fight and hope for salvation at a time when destroying the dissent of the minority, by an authoritarian government becomes accepted as normal. A powerful and compelling commentary on the human condition and the resilience of the human spirit. The PATRIOT  challenges and describes the true meaning of patriotism. A profound and inspiring book for all times.

 

About this title

About the Author:

After a sixty year career as a writer-director of many award-winning films and television programs, Norman Weissman has written five novels and a memoir. Determined to oppose the silence in which lies become history, the author makes his reply in art to tell of all he has witnessed. He lives in Brookline, Massachusetts with his wife Eveline.

Review:

Norman Weissman’s latest novel THE PATRIOT  is a stirring tale that challenges the meaning of true
American patriotism. Gone are slogans and the beating of drums. Instead Weissman’s central
characters are driven to self-sacrifice by their inner voices that demand morality and compassion
in a world gone made with self- serving motivations. Profound and inspiring, THE PATRIOT  is a book
for all times.
