History comes alive in God's Perfect Scar. A survivor of the 1944
Warsaw Uprising finds himself in Auschwitz, working with a woman
prisoner to plan and implement a harrowing mass escape. A former
Polish lancer turned airborne trooper turned English instructor at
the University of Warsaw finds himself targeted by the
Kremlin-controlled secret police. Two brothers find themselves
conscripted by a pair of ambitious rulers, each itching to fire the
first shot in a war that will ensnare soldiers and nurses from
America, Britain, New Zealand and Korea. An American priest, a
former World War II chaplain, finds himself playing street soccer
in Rome and plotting a rescue in Warsaw. Bullets and shrapnel leave
lasting scars - as do polio, treachery and guilt. Painstakingly
researched, God's Perfect Scar is the story of ordinary people
swept up in extraordinary, history-changing upheavals, contending
with unrelenting stresses and making life-altering choices. During
his research, Johnson learned about Aline Gartner, lost in the
mists of time and history. In the pages of God's Perfect Scar, he
"brings back to life" this remarkably courageous woman. From
Auschwitz to Cracow to Warsaw, London, Moscow, Beijing, Kaesong,
Seoul and small town America, God's Perfect Scar takes readers on a
journey that provides a different and broader perspective on major
happenings that have been shaping history for the last 60 years. As
with Johnson's earlier works, Warrior Priest and Fate of the
Warriors, the pacing in God's Perfect Scar is brisk, the tension
palpable and the outcomes unpredictable.
