Anyone remember "QBVII" by Leon Uris?
The Faux/Franken Follies (FFF) remind me of this fantastic novel.
The story is slightly different but the gist is that of the truth vs fascism.
The title of the book refers to the specific courtroom in England.
A man accused of perpetrating horrors for the Nazi's files suit to clear his "good" name.
I believe a mini-series was made back in the 70s with Ben Gazarra and Anthony Hopkins.
A great read with as much relevance today as when it was written.
It addresses the questions of: Who deceides what Truth is? Is Justice only to be found within the law? How many dots need to be present and connected in the pursuit of said Truth and Justice?
I am remaining purposely vague as I assume the author plus any potential reader would surely desire.
A part of me is hoping that the FFF doesn't die and the powers that be continue to push , not perhaps to the edge of any cliff, but all the way into the center of the bright, bright LIGHT!
