Needless: Book Four in the "Faces of the War" Collection

by Eli Kale, Rob Griffith (Editor)

Benjamin, a youthful man working at the U.S. Consulate-General in Barcelona, finds himself in a world of danger, vengeance, and intrigue in the early autumn of 1942. His position as cultural attaché will prove to be merely a stepping stone in his European post. Only time will reveal what perilous stepping stones await him, as well as what consequences will arise from his decisions. But will those consequences prove to be too much for him? The "Faces of the War" Collection, though written mostly for high school aged readers, is suitable for anyone teen-aged and older. It should be noted that these are simply stories and are not to be confused for academically rigorous textbooks.
