Seven German men have been jailed for alleged crimes against the Third Reich. They are not Jews or gypsies or any of the other persecuted minorities. Yet, like them, the men await torture and possibly death. As each tells his story to his cell mates, we are given a rare look at Hitler's "other victims" - ordinary Germans caught up in the inescapable trap of Nazi terror. Author Erich Friedrich was a brave German soldier. He won the Iron Cross for valor and was wounded on the Eastern Front. He was not a Nazi: He was fighting for his country and his comrades in arms. Yet despite his exceptional war record, Friedrich was arrested for not giving the Nazi salute and for making disparaging remarks about Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring. Charged with subversion, he was thrown into a cell in what had formerly been an insane asylum. With him were a suspected spy, two accused deserters, a Jehovah's Witness, a draft dodger, and a leftist. To help pass the Christmas "holiday" and push back the terror of the unknown, each man took a turn telling why he was in the cell. Friedrich vowed to remember their remarkable stories forever.

The FARC (Revolutionary Forces of Colombia) is one of the oldest Marxist guerrilla forces in the Western Hemisphere. The United States, the European Union and Canada list FARC as a terrorist group guilty of kidnapping, drug trafficking, and committing acts of violence against civilians and global citizens. However, the FARC organization maintains that they are an army of the people, a belligerent force fighting the Colombian oligarchy to bring about social and economic changes and that its struggle requires conventional warfare tactics. This exhilarating story set in the early 1980s, depicts the human side of FARC fighters and their kidnap victims and revolves around three vivid characters: Carlos, a well-educated FARC guerrilla commander who comes to the United States on a covert assignment to purchase arms; Anne, a Washington lawyer with whom Carlos has a passionate love affair; and Alberto, the author's uncle, a wealthy Colombian rancher who becomes a FARC kidnap victim. The story gives an explicit insight into the lives and minds of elusive insurgents, their interaction with ruthless drug traffickers, international weapon dealers, and global intelligence agencies.
