A Luger pistol is brought to America by a German immigrant in the early 1900's, setting in motion a tale spanning a century... The Luger's Vision is the story of three high school friends living in the small Southern California town of Cuesta Verde in the early 1940's. The tranquility of their lives is shattered by America's entry into World War II. Even before heading off to battle, all three friends are tested in unexpected ways, dealing with racial tension, budding romance, class distinction and questions of what it means to be an American. Following years of military service in the 1306 Combat Engineers, the 442nd Japanese-American Infantry Regiment, and the Tuskegee Airmen, and maintaining their friendships through exchanged letters, the young soldiers return home. Half a century later, Cuesta Verde's tranquility is threatened yet again, this time from within, with a secretive group of renegades challenging the definition of who belongs - and who doesn't belong - in the community. Determined to keep their town inclusive, the three friends and the other citizens of Cuesta Verde band together to affirm their belief that America belongs to us all. The Luger's Vision includes a unique, illustrated appendix and a reader's group discussion guide.
