As World War II with Germany and Japan ends, the Cold War with Soviet Russia begins, and both U. S. and Russia stockpile atomic bombs. This is a story about the effects of anti-Communist hysteria and McCarthyism on three American world war heroes. Rob, with OSS, who parachuted into occupied territory in both France and Indochina, and who met Ho Chi Minh; Chantal, a courier for the French resistance, who guided downed airmen to Spain; and Mike, one of the pilots she saved from Nazi arrest. In Washington D. C. after the war, the lives of these three heroes become hopelessly entangled as the Red Scare continues.
