An epic journey of Ruj Rujirek, a Thai-Russian man, through all the major wars while the world was grappling with the communist threat for its domination.  This is a historical novel intricate with twists and turns as it barrelled through international political labyrinth.  

Was it fate or just bad luck that propelled Ruj Rujirek into the harrowing experiences  of World War II, the Korean War, the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, the Vietnam War and the civil strife in Thailand?  

When he found love in the midst of all the wars, it too became a battle of sundering emotions and heartrending choice.
