The story takes the reader through the Second World War and the ensuing Cold War and then thrusts the young man into the cauldron of refugee camps after he escapes his country following a communist coup d'etat in his native land. A myopic world, too preoccupied with the euphoria of victory over the Nazis and the darkening clouds of the Cold War to see the plight of the displaced, soon puts him to the test. In the ruins of post-war Germany, the sewers of Paris, and the refugee camps of Italy, he comes to realize that freedom can exact a terrible price. He plumbs the highs and lows of guilt, betrayal, loneliness, romance, love, despair, and vengeance. Ultimately he attains his dream, America, where he arrives at an awkward time of McCarthy and the "red scare," which costs him treasured relationships. He devotes his life to the service of his adopted country until years later when the Cold War ends and he answers the yearning in his heart to see his home again. He returns and finds himself adrift, a foreigner in his own country and stranger in his own home.
