Synopsis
Jif Miles knows war—three tours in Vietnam have taught this career warrior well. It’s now eight years after that conflict’s demoralizing final act, and an impetuous US president rushes his rebuilt but untested Army into harm’s way on the coup-torn Caribbean island of Grenada. Unlike Vietnam, the Army has a crystal-clear mission this time. But conceived on dangerously short notice, this mission lacks key elements of the intelligence, planning, and logistical support needed to ensure victory. In this hard-hitting fictional account, it’s up to combat-experienced leaders like Jif, now a lieutenant colonel with the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, to craft victory from what could quickly become a catastrophic failure.
