But while he is tormented by his past and trying to appreciate his own wife and son, Daniel is also haunted, like millions of others, by the need to come to terms with a country destroying itself in the Vietnam War. A stunning fictionalization of a political drama that tore the United States apart, THE BOOK OF DANIEL is an intensely moving tale of political martyrdom and the search for meaning.
