Weathermen On Trial 

A Trump tweet starts an FBI investigation in this historical novel and legal thriller, leading to the arrest of an aging university professor for his role in violent acts of protest in the 1970s: actual political bombings and invented political assassinations. As an introduction to the history of the Viet Nam anti-war movement, the novel represents the real actors’ actual backgrounds, motivations, actions, words, and voices. Paradoxically, the characters on all sides act out of patriotism as they understand it, and their convictions about what America stands for, illustrating the deep divisions in American politics and society.
