“The Scaffold: A Treason Death Penalty Trial” Book Release | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Beginning with an outline as a young lawyer around 1960 and finally completed in prison as a tax resister
50 or so years later, J. Tony Serra has completed his first novel, “The Scaffold: A Treason Death Penalty Trial”.

Taking place historically during the Second World War in the South Pacific with U.S. P.T. Boats, Japanese zero attack planes, and on an island paradise, this court martial trial is filled with Serra’s legal career experiences but is an example of life as absurdity, all aspects of life are metaphors of absurdity, thinking intellectually in the Theater of the Absurd.

The message, if there is a message, is that war is absurd; treason is absurd; the death penalty is absurd and that platonic love is humanity’s only redemption.
