Long Shadows of War
Autor Eugene Grecuen Limba Engleză Paperback
In one of the stories, George - a lieutenant in the Romanian Army fighting on the eastern front in 1942 - is trapped behind enemy lines; out of necessity he joins a Ukrainian Nationalist partisan group, and together they match wits with the ruthless NKVD. Returning home in 1945, George joins the Romanian resistance movement against the Soviet occupation and the emerging Communist Dictatorship imposed by the occupiers. Relentlessly pursued by the State Security agents, he is forced to flee his country. In the U.S.A, he continues his struggle against Communism and his old archenemy, Col. Vlasov - now a high-ranking KGB agent.
The protagonist of the second story is Dan - George's unsuspecting son - a young Romanian physician compelled by circumstances to defect to the West. The complex drama of defection is brought to the fore. Along the way he encounters challenges and dangers, love and tragedy.
As the two stories converge, the father and son are gradually brought closer together in the U.S.A., on the background of the intensified Cold War. In a heart-breaking, dramatic finale, the unfulfilled reunion of the two protagonists is mitigated by wisdom and acceptance, and by the ultimate triumph of the human spirit.
