DESCRIPTION:
The manuscript, hidden from everyone but the attorney defending him, tells of Capt. David Dubin's investigation into Martin's activities and of both men's entanglements with fierce, secretive comrade Gita Lodz. When retired newspaperman Stewart Dubinsky (last seen in 1987's Presumed Innocent) discovers letters his deceased father wrote during his tour of duty in WWII, a host of family secrets come to light. In Turow's ambitious, fascinating page-turner, a "ferocious curiosity" compels the divorced Dubinsky to study his "remote, circumspect" father's papers, which include love letters written to a fiancée the family had never heard of, and a lengthy manuscript, which his father wrote in prison and which includes the shocking disclosure of his father's court-martial for assisting in the
Pressed into the leadership of a desperately depleted rifle company, the men are forced to abandon their quest for Martin and his fiery, maddeningly elusive comrade, Gita, as they fight for their lives through carnage and chaos, the likes of which Dubin could never have imagined.In reconstructing the terrible events and agonizing choices his father faced on the battlefield, in the courtroom, and in love, Stewart gains a closer understanding of his past, of his father's character, and of the brutal nature of war itself.From the Hardcover edition.. And he'd been told how David Dubin (as his father had Americanized the name that Stewart later reclaimed) had rescued Stewart's mother from the horror of the Balingen concentration camp. But when he discovers, after his father's death, a packet of wartime letters to a former fiancée, and learns of his father's court-martial and imprisonment, he is plunged into the mystery of his family's secret history and driven to uncover the truth about this enigmatic, distant man who'd always refused to talk about his war.As he pieces together his father's past through military archives, letters, and, finally, notes from a memoir his father wrote while in prison, secretly preserved by the officer who defended him, Stewart starts to assemble a dramatic and baffling chain
Could Not Put The Book Down The secret life Of David Dubin, a JAG officer during World War II is revealed to his son Stewart shortly after his death. This revelation was made while his son was going through his father's personal belongings. Letters hidden away in a closet were discovered. It was revealed that his father had been having a love affair with another woman. And if that wasn't enough, he had also been recommended for a court-martial.. My New Favorite Book! There is no exaggeration when I state that this is my new favorite book. When I read the synopsis of this story, I realized that it did not follow the same court room theme like most of Scott Turow's books. I hate court house dramas. THIS story though was far from Turrow's norm. We follow Stewart Dubinsky as he discovers that his father, David Dubin, was not the bland old man he thought he was.As Stewart is rummaging. War, Love, Intrigue and Heroism--a fictional account of true events Steven A. Chase Scott Turow is a masterful writer.
