title: The Patriot
author: Weissman, Norman
description: THE PATRIOT is a dance of the damned by three characters  wounded by the ravages of war. Returning home they battle waterfront crime and corruption, leading an-anti-war movement, and fighting the military judicial system's sexism and injustice. Their love and courage calls for restoration of the moral authority essential to democracy. Trapped by violence and cruel truth of war, THE PATRIOT dramatizes the courage and imagination needed to change a future determined by patriotism. In a morally bankrupt society, three brave citizens fight and hope for salvation at a time when destroying the dissent of the minority, by an authoritarian government becomes accepted as normal. A powerful and compelling commentary on the human condition and the resilience of the human spirit. The PATRIOT  challenges and describes the true meaning of patriotism. A profound and inspiring book for all times.
