More about the book
Life in communist-ruled Czechoslovakia is becoming increasingly problematic for the young Prague physician Roman Hollander, and he makes the difficult decision to leave his homeland in a quest for freedom. He finds initial refuge in Germany where he is contacted by a CIA officer who coerces him to join the agency. Roman arrives in America but is soon dispatched back to Czechoslovakia on a clandestine mission. His assignment goes awry, and he has to escape the country with his life. Back in the United States, Roman is troubled by a guilty conscience related to his mission, and later, once Czechoslovakia is free, he resolves to return there to assuage his inner conflicts by revisiting the events of the past. This decision, however, only complicates his circumstances. No Saints Among Us is a story of human fallibility, of troubled conscience, and of unpredictable vicissitudes life's journey can bring.
