Now in clear protective sleeve. Price of $10.95 on dustjacket flap. Inscribed on first blank page "For Nasser with kindest regards Lee Uris". Signed copies rarely offered. The "terrible beauty" that is Ireland comes alive in this mighty epic that re-creates that Emerald's Isle's fierce struggle for independence. Trinity is a saga of glories and defeats, triumphs and tragedies, lived by a young Catholic rebel and the beautiful and valiant Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join him. Leon Uris has painted a masterful portrait of a beleaguered people divided by religion and wealth--impoverished Catholic peasants pitted against a Protestant aristocracy wielding power over life and death. Leon Uris (1924-2003) was an American novelist known for panoramic, action-filled works such as the World War II novel Battle Cry (1953) and Exodus (1958), which deals with the struggle to establish and defend the state of Israel.
The book looked good from outside. But when opened, all the pages were loose and coming off from the spine. I had to read the book one sheet at a time in my hand because they could not be put together. Really expected a better quality book. Had bought so many books from you in the past. Very disappointed.
