Synopsis

They lived in a world of ruthless men and their women. A world of naked power and secret influence. A world outside the law, beyond the law, above the law. They lived in - The Dark Arena. Mosca: young, tough, ambitious. He liked the wheeling and dealing and he wasn't afraid to kill; but there was one thing he didn't reckon with: love. Hella: she loved Mosca more than life itself, which was very dangerous - for them both. Eddie: a real operator. He cared only for himself and the deals he could make. And when he was drunk, he was vicious. Leo: a divided soul. He was between worlds and caught up in the deadly intrigues of Eddie and Mosca.

"Savage...It's brutal impact is extraordinary." (Library Journal)

From the Inside Flap

"Mario Puzo won international acclaim for The" Godfather" and his other Mafia novels. But before creating those masterpieces, Puzo wrote his first acclaimed novel The Dark Arena"-an astounding story of a war-scarred young American in a battle against corruption and betrayal. . . .
After coming home at the end of World War II, Walter Mosca finds himself too restless for his civilian role in America. So he returns to Germany to find the woman he had once loved-and to start some kind of life in a vanquished country. But ahead of Walter stretches a dark landscape of defeat and intrigue, as he succumbs to the corrupting influences of a malevolent time. Now he enters a different kind of war, one in which he must make a fateful decision-between love and ambition, passion and greed, life and death. . . .
