Against the background of World War II, beginning with Hitler's invasion of Poland, this is a story of the 20th Century as experienced in the life of an Italian wine exporter, his family, and his friends. Depicting historical events of that century's early years, World War I is seen in the minds of many as having never really ended; and that it was, in fact, the precursor to the destruction of New York's World Trade Center on September 11, 2011.

Presented herein are the conscienceless machinations of world leaders of the time; you'll read here of things - unbelievable things - you were never told of in school. It's been said of this book: "This should have been published yesterday."
