The Man Without a Country
Remember the old adage “Be careful what you ask for”? The Man Without a Country is the story of American Army lieutenant Philip Nolan, who renounces his country during a trial for treason. Consequently, the court sentences him to spend the rest of his days at sea without so much as a word of news about the United States.
