A wonderfully crafted story weaving some details from lives of real WWII American vets with some evocative and challenging plot lines. Who are the 'good guys'. This is the kind of novel which skirts the moral grey zone and draws the reader into an assessment of their own values and ideas of right and wrong. Turow quotes a friend of his own father's a few times in the book "Time does deepen the wonder". Ordinary Heroes gave me an insight into the suffering of my own father who came back fro WWII so scathed. Another chance to forgive our parents and to deepen the wonder at man's inhumanity to man.
