Beschreibung
Walter Woodrow Pillow would have moved through life unremarked if he had not committed the most outrageous and traitorous act in American history. A young design engineer in a Texas bomber factory, he had become consumed with guilt and remorse for his role in designing the deadliest weapons system of the Vietnam era. So, one day, in 1965, he sabotaged the mighty bombers. Wally made tracks for the border, the FBI, the CIA and Interpol hot on his trail.The Glass Guitar is the story of Wally's efforts to elude government agents and along the way champion causes promoting peace, fairness, and justice in an imperfect world. He is joined by a number of kindred souls, including a beautiful prostitute known as "Angel of the Arroyos," an Italian movie director whose mother dated Mussolini, and a reformed explosives expert who penned the classic Ethics and the Firecracker. In its efforts to make right the wrongs of the world, this merry band of fugitive-reformers leaves a path of devastation across the social landscape. The story is a cautionary tale suggesting that there are often unexpected consequences for doing the right thing.
