He was a survivor-a wanderer who traded tales for food and shelter in the dard and savage aftermath of a devastating war. Fate toucheshim one chill winters day when he borrows the jacket of a long dead postal worker to protect himself fro the cold. The old, worn uniform still has power as a symbol of hope, and with it he begins to weave his greatest tale, of a nation on the road to recovery. This is the true story of a lie that became the most powerful kind of truth. A timeless novel as urgently compellin as WAR DAY or ALAS,BABYLON.
