A devastating war, a burning cross, a crime network, and a victorious general--these are some of the many threads Hadzic and Irby weave together to clarify one of history's most misunderstood symbols: the cross. The authors interweave Hadzic's story with that of the cross in a way that seeks to rescue the true meaning of the cross from its misrepresentations and misuses throughout history. The result is a compelling tapestry that illuminates the transformative power of one of the most complex and controversial symbols in today's global community.
