Winner of the National Book Award, this is the tragic story of an American family whose beliefs and familial bonds are shattered by the raging Vietnam war. Novelist Carroll recounts growing up under the auspicious shadow of his father, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency throughout most of the war. Carroll's decision to become a priest thrills his father, but when he sides with the liberal Catholics and draft resisters, his family relationships are jeopardized.
