What happens when a bunch of murderous gringos are let loose on a developing country? We all saw Apocalypse Now. We've read the fiction. Yet few films or books identify even a single Vietnamese by name. Thee million Vietnamese were killed in the American war - half the Jewish Holocaust. This is a story of that war, which questions how far one individual will go to right the wrongs of his country before betraying his fellow soldiers and comrades.
