Torment

Dont worry you wont be in there for long, and theres plenty of room where youre going. These are seventeen words to define almost all of Tom Waltons adult life. Looking back on his one hundredth birthday, he remembers a life of tragedy, retribution, and finally reconciliation, Toms story starts in a Midlands mining village. Then hes taken to France and the retreat to the coast in May 1940 where he returns after the war-seeking retribution and then to a war crimes trial in Hamburg.

Tom is tormented by his experiences, which have a profound effect on two families.

Will it ever end?
