Official synopsis Publisher
This is a story about American soldiers in combat. It is also a story about power, corruption, greed, honor and love. When Army Colonel Sam Sampson is recalled back from retirement to execute one last mission for his country, he doesn’t know he will have to fight enemies inside the halls of power in Washington, enemies within himself, and finally with the enemies of his country.
A fast paced novel, the realism of the combat sequences in the story are gripping, and written as only a combat veteran could write them. The equipment and weapons in the story were state of the art at the time this novel was written in 1999. Some of them have subsequently come to pass and are in use in the Army today. Others, sadly, have been scrapped by Donald Rumsfeld because they don’t meet his inexperienced and myopic view of what war is all about. This is a book about war as it really is. There is no “shock and awe.” There is only hard tank and infantry fighting done by memorable characters.
