Trinity - by Leon Uris (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From the internationally acclaimed author who enthralled the world with Exodus, Battle Cry, and other classics of twentieth-century fiction comes a sweeping and powerful epic adventure.

Leon Uris captures the "terrible beauty" of Ireland during its long and bloody struggle for freedom. It is the electrifying story of an idealistic young Catholic rebel and the valiant and beautiful Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join his cause.

Review Quotes

"The story has a kind of relentless power, based on the real tragedy of Ireland, and Uris's achievement is that he has neither cheapened nor trivialized that tragedy."
