Synopsis
The O'Hara family and the Marine Corps are the two pivots for this posthumous novel by Leon Uris (1924-2003). Beginning with Civil War hero Paddy O'Hara, the story takes us from the battle of Bull Run to many years after the war, when Paddy, retired from the service, is the proprietor of a New York City saloon. In between, his son Zachary tries to live up to his father's legend as he too joins the Marines and then finds he must choose between the profession he loves and the needs of his wealthy and high-minded wife. Uris's "new" novel coincides with the 50th anniversary of his immensely popular novel 1953 BATTLE CRY, about Marines in World War II.

Publisher's Note
In the years following America's terrible Civil War, the fate of the U.S. Marine Corps rests in the capable hands of Zachary O'Hara. A first-generation Irish-American and son of a legendary war hero, O'Hara is the one man who can prevent the dissolution of his father's beloved "Wart-Hogs," thereby ensuring his own future as a valuable member of this proud and vital branch of his nation's armed forces. But a dark secret weighs heavily on this tormented, dedicated warrior. And the greatest obstacle to his mission is one he never anticipated: Amanda Blanton Kerr, the passionate, obstinate daughter of the ruthless industrialist who's the Corps' fiercest adversary. A beautiful heiress on a mission of her own, her destiny will intertwine with O'Hara's in the tumultuous decades to follow, forcing him to confront the devastating choice no soldier should ever have to make: between his duty and his desire; between his country and his heart.
Industry reviews
"[P]assages of period description in Washington and research into the lives of Manhattan immigrants often stretch forth into a fine singing voice....Bloody battles well done, much excellent period writing...." Kirkus (08/15/2003)
