Now I've been told by someone close that it really wasn't like that; he had an agenda. It didn't seem so to me, but then naturally he could have been a little biassed.
I do think in his "Trinity" he wrote against the Catholics in northern Ireland. It's been so long since I read it, but the gist of it was the Protestants were more prosperous because they didn't have so many children. Don't want to start an argument about that; it's just what was in the book.
I don't know if I could see Karen getting shot again, but it was such an uplifting feeling when the hunger strike ended and they were finally allowed to leave the boat and stake out their small portion of the land. They have never been able/allowed to live in peace since that time.
I remember back in the 40's and 50's the Arabs/Palestinians were blowing up Jewish kids on school busses, like in the paper and Time magazine. There was probably more ugliness on the other side I don't know about.
My oldest daughter is named after the character Deborah in "Mila 18" (and is a biblical name as well) which was about what the Jews suffered in the Warsaw ghetto.
He also wrote QBVII which I finally got around to reading, but don't remember too much what it was about, think it was war trials.
QB VII was about the trial in England of an author who had written that a Nazi doctor had performed "thousands" of experimental surgeries on Jews. He had, in fact, only performed hundreds.
