The Cassandra Syndrome
Anne Cortez and her son Mark were on a cruise of Scandinavia and Russia, when they witnessed a shooting.

American rescue teams arrived, and subsequently an order to make Samar a howling wilderness was given. The bells used to signal the rebellion were taken as war booty by the Americans. Forty years later, WW II breaks out, a...
