Infos

At war´s 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 depression and world 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.
