Kurzinfo:

THE SHILOH LEGACY 

- a secluded southern valley 

- a mid-america faming community 

- the ethnic neighborhoods of New York 

- ordinary families caught up in extraordinary events 

From every conceivable culture, men joined together in foxholes to fight World War I, the Great War that would brring the world together in peace, for all time. Jews and Irish, blacks and whites fought side by side and formed bonds of friendship that would tie them togehter forever. Max Meyer, a Jew from New York; Ellis Warne, an Irish doctor's son from Ohio; Birch Tucker, an Arkansas farm boy - even Jefferson Canfield, the son of a black sharecropper. 

And as these men drew together in their common couse, the lives of ther families became inextricably entwined. They prayed and hoped, wept and laughed - and rejoiced as one when their sons and brothers and fiancés came home from the battlefield. 

But even as the Armistice is declard, another battle rages on - the undercurrents of raciel, religious and cultural intolerance threaten the very foundations of the nation. Will there be any freedom - any peace - on the home front?
