Never Again by Harvey A Schwartz

Never Again by Harvey A Schwartz

Israel is destroyed by an atom bomb. Neighboring armies overrun the country. Two ships jammed with thousands of homeless Israeli Jews limp into Boston Harbor. America slams its doors. Before the ships can be sent back to the new nation of Palestine, the refugees are violently freed, killing ten coastguardsmen. Arrests of thousands of these new enemy combatants are met with marches and bombings as American Jews struggle to balance their loyalty to America with the realization that the atrocities that inspired the phrase never again have become possible in the here and now. American Jews must decide where their loyalties lie: with a government they view as heartless, or with fellow Jews whose lives are at stake. They fail in court, fail at applying political pressure, and finally resort to increasingly violent acts of terrorism. When they acquire one of Israel's missing atomic bombs, they must decide how far they will go to convince their country to change its course. How far will the government go to stop what it brands as American traitors? NEVER AGAIN presents a shockingly believable nightmare and compels readers to consider what they would do to stop it.

Harvey Schwartz is a retired Boston civil rights attorney. Although he argued two cases before the United States Supreme Court, he is perhaps best known in Massachusetts for successfully overturning the state's ban on tattooing. He argued that tattoos are art and that as artistic speech, the right to tattoo is protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. As a reward, he was declared the Massachusetts Tattoo Artists Association Mass Ink Man of the Year. As punishment, however, both his sons' are encrusted with tattoos. In 2011, Mr. Schwartz and his wife, Sandra Hamilton, purchased Hoop Doet Leven, a 21 meter (70 foot) former commercial canal barge built in the Netherlands in 1926. They lived on Hoop Doet Leven in France for twenty months and have spent every summer since then cruising the French canals and rivers, primarily in northeastern and central France. Mr. Schwartz also wrote a novel, The Reluctant Terrorist, presenting a plausibly terrifying depiction of events similar to the Holocaust happening in the United States. That book is available from Amazon in paper and electronically. When not in France, Harvey and Sandra live in Ipswich, Massachusetts. He operates Marshview Boatworks, building small wood rowing and paddling boats. They maintain a blog about their travels at www.onabargeinfrance.com.
