At wars end, will there be a Communist revolution in Italy (and France)? This is the question impinging on the very life, the dream and lethal conspiracy of a (French-Canadian) American visionary serving in the American Army in Italy in the closing days of World War II...and the opening days of the Cold War. He does not suspect another question: Has Stalin exerted himself to block such a revolution? Could the victorious Yugoslavs and the insurgent Greeks be defying Stalin? His dream: The revolutionary unification of Europe, an intellectuals Europe secure from war, resurgent in power and culture. *A paean to internationalist-inspired high treason as well as a cautionary tale against it. *A metaphor of a spiritual ordeal not only transfixing the epoch of the Cold War, but in different guises our own as well. *Passionate, heroic, brooding, romantic, sinister, threatening, poignant, tender, wildly ribald. *A national epic for an Italy -- even a Europe...never to be born. Its hero: Jean LeFey, a professorial blend of Captain Ahab, Lenin, and Woody Allen.
