Archie, an orphaned young Israeli man, shows promise under his mentor, a powerhouse international banker from Vienna. Archie's financial acumen makes him a successful, wealthy consultant and philanthropist known throughout Europe. Yet all the money Archie gives away won't assuage his guilt for a broken promise. When a beautiful Palestinian lawyer introduces Archie to a rising dissident leader who seeks his help breaking the tentacles of Soviet dogma, will it bring danger to him and those he loves? In a novel that explores belief and spans continents, The Compass Point confronts the deception that divides a volatile world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eQuote from page 45 --\u003cp\u003e\"Reason?\" Rothschild looked at Archie as if he had said the most preposterous thing. \"There's no fire in reason: no bread and circuses.
