Her Wingless Eyes

Résumé du livre

Her Wingless Eyes follows the Jewish-American Olympian, Joshua Sellers, on his quest to win a Gold medal in the Eleventh Olympiad in Berlin. The time is 1936 and it falls into the years known as the holocaust. But that story has a wide berth. To understand the treachery of those times, one must explore the connections to race hatred in America. Fusing both the author's Book-of-Note novels, The White Bridge and Ghost Runners: An Olympic Dream Betrayed allows us to view the totality of outrage in an accursed century where man was truly wolf to man.Finally, these are the days when American race hatred rears its ugly head again. Notice the fangs. It is time to spit it out in the snow. But to fully eradicate the blight that is our heritage, we must know from whence it came. So, Her Wingless Eyes is the mother wolf into whose lair, with fire and resolve, we will go--to cut its furious heart out or be swept away to the far side of history.Through the last century, the haunting secretive bureau of H.E.R. tries, with the insistence of Ginger Lee, to solve the mystery of the wingless eyes and how it relates to past and present American history. The acclaimed novels scanning sports and war in the twentieth century tells the mammoth story of the glorification of sports amid racial pursuits for domination in America and Deutschland. In Ghost Runners, the story of American anti-Semitism is explored. The White Bridge follows Ginger Lee, a cub reporter from the Chicago Daily News as she tries to make her way in a man's world. The two are a formidable team, but well out of their league. The likes of Rockefeller and that boorish Chaplinesque clown, Adolf Hitler, have a more sinister common purpose--The take-down of democracy. The restoration of a pure white nation. American race policy is now statistically proven. Suddenly dark truths surface as there comes a time when only a gun in a woman's hands can makes things right.Based on real events and people of which history may have been too kind, Her Wingless Eyes accuses a sometimes accursed nation for the rise of the National Socialists and its attempt to exterminate Jews. History unlike what you have ever read. This has a pulse that shows the heart of the here and now--a cautionary tale not of the past, but the future.
