兩個祖國 中
戰勝國與戰敗國、審判者與被審判者，不論哪一邊，都是自己的同胞？！
是非善惡的界線逐漸混淆，當手足夫妻的情分崩裂瓦解，生命中到底還剩下什麼可以相信？
「如果你和你的親人所擁護的一方互相敵對，你會怎麼做？」
賢治曾在戰俘營被審訊官問到這個問題，當時他無法回答，如今這個苦澀的難題卻似乎就逼到眼前了！成為美軍少尉的賢治被派往南太平洋，而大弟忠卻加入了日本軍隊，他只能祈禱命運不會如此殘酷地讓他們親兄弟在戰場上相遇……
相形之下，賢治的大學同窗查理似乎不必承受這麼多掙扎。他從一開始就努力擠入白人行列，即使心愛的梛子因此和他離婚也沒有任何猶豫。直到那朵可怕的蕈狀雲在廣島上空爆裂，他才對這一切感到憤慨，並掛念起梛子的安危。
所幸梛子奇蹟似地毫髮無傷，且巧遇離開戰場的賢治，兩人之間的愛苗也悄悄萌生。面對漸行漸遠的妻子，賢治固然充滿罪惡感，但更令他為難的是被分派的新任務──擔任軍事審判法庭的語言督導官，負責訂正通譯官的錯誤。這將是伸張正義的機會，還是難以承受的壓力？……
