Publisher's Synopsis
Dogs of War Abroad is a metaphor for the first kind of war in which human beings indulge. It is a blatant war with thousands of human beings bearing arms destroying other human beings as well as their environment. The war is declared and those involved are fully aware of its location which is usually away from home. This novel uses the preparation and description of the Normandy Invasion to describe blatant war.
The second war is subtle and can be called Dogs of War at home. It is very different from blatant war. It has very few human beings, indeed not infrequently one who is identified as a threat to another human being. The individual initiating this war often attacks those who he or she hates and uses character assassination as well untrue information to destroy whatever actions... thoughts... and etc. those hated individuals represent. It is not unusual for the hated individual to be unaware of the individual who is spreading the damaging information. This novel uses the presidential elections as the example for Dogs of War at home.
