The story deals with the life of Harry Clifton from when he was a small boy to a much older teenager preparing to join the war against Hitler. There is nothing much different about this book, especially if you have read most of the earlier Jeffrey Archer books. The poor guy gets to go to school and college thanks to a hardworking mother and a lot of well-wishers who give up time and money to help him out without him ever knowing about it. He has loyal friends and meets a pretty girl he wants to get married to. Only hitch, her dad hates him for more reasons than one - because he was responsible for Harry's dad's death or perhaps because he knows he might be Harry's dad. No more spoilers, but almost from the beginning you know where the story is going. The end is supposed to be a twist in the tale, but it seemed very unfinished to me. This book is the first of a 3-part series, so that would probably account for the story being left unfinished.
