✦ Synopsis

HARD REVOLUTION is a rich, dramatic, totally engrossing story of two
brothers--one a rookie police officer, one a recently returned Vietnam
veteran--caught up in the chaos that engulfed D.C. in 1968, when riots
followed the assassination of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. Derek
Strange is his family's straight arrow, but his older brother Dennis
has always had a harder time. Home from the war and in several varieties
of trouble, Dennis is in danger of making one bad decision too many.
While Derek tries to be there for Dennis, no amount of brotherly love
can save Dennis from Alvin Jones, a local drug dealer who draws him into
his web. An apocalyptic gun battle and an impossible decision collide
in the electrifying climax of the most powerful book yet from George
Pelecanos, a novelist who "writes with intelligence and complexity, as
well as with a sober recognition of the evil at large in the world."
