James Alexander Thom, bestselling author of two magnificent historical novels, says about his modern novel, Staying Out of Hell: "Like my character, Scotty Montgomery, I grew up in the idyllic prewar Midwest, was a Marine, and later a journalist appalled by the apparent cheapness of life and the world's casual disregard for human suffering. Like my protagonist, I am unable to reconcile my country's two roles: the citadel of humane idealism, and the leading world merchant of death-dealing weapons. I hope by this novel to awaken our benumbed souls to the awful absurdities with which we live."Thom, James Alexander is the author of 'Staying out of Hell' with ISBN 9780345306654 and ISBN 0345306651.
