Riassunto

Ben Tyson is a brilliant corporate executive, an honest, handsome, family man, admired by men and desired by women. Years ago Ben Tyson was a lieutenant in war-torn Vietnam. There, in 1968, the men under his command committed a murderous atrocity - and swore never to tell the world what they had done. But was their word their bond? The press, army justice, and the events Ben Tyson tried to forget have caught up with him. And now his family, his career and his personal sense of honour hang precariously in the balance.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

CAN THE WORD OF AN EX-VIETNAM VET BE A WORD OF HONOUR

Ben Tyson is a good man, brilliant corporate executive, an honest handsome family man, admired by men and desired by women. But sixteen years ago Ben Tyson was a lieutenant in Vietnam. There, in 1968, the men under his command committed a murderous atrocity – and together swore never to tell the world what they had done. Now the press, army justice, and the events he tried to forget have caught up with Ben Tyson. His family, his career, and his sense of honour hang in the balance.

"An excellent piece of storytelling...compulsive reading."
OXFORD TIMES

"Nelson DeMille tackles a controversial subject with skill."
EVENING STANDARD

"The military scenes have the gunmetal ring of authenticity...a long, over-the-shoulder look at a time that grows larger as it recedes from sight."
TIME
