manic ambition.Theirs is a world of oaths, blood, death and
vengeance.But then his association with Asch takes him elsewhere -
into diplomacy, and towards leadership of another kind... In

foretells the death of a race, of a faith, of peoples who have no
greater enemies than themselves, in a novel that is as violent and
turbulent as the times in which we live...

This is the story of the defeats and triumphs of three Irish
families. It is a powerful and stirring look at love and hate, both
personal and political. Told through the simple lives of its
people, this is an epic history of Ireland. From the famine of the
1840s to the 1916 Easter Rising, Trinity chronicles the terrible
and beautiful drama of more than half a century. Leon Uris's skill
is in capturing a subject seemingly too big to handle and
distilling the very essence of that struggle into passionate prose.
Years after his death, he remains one of the most popular
storytellers of the twentieth century - this is one of his most
celebrated novels.

Now unfolds Leon Uris' riveting courtroom drama--one of the great fictional trials of the century.
