RED FLAGS: A NOVEL OF THE VIETNAM WAR
Book ID/图书代码: 03900010B38104
English Summary/英文概要: A novel of soldiers and spies in the highlands of Vietnam.
Army cop Erik Rider is enjoying his war until he’s sent to disrupt Vietcong opium fields in a remote highland province.
Rider lands in Cheo Reo, home to hard-pressed soldiers, intelligence operatives, and profiteers of all stripes. The tiny US contingent and its unenthusiastic Vietnamese allies are hopelessly outnumbered by infiltrating enemy infantry. And they’re all surrounded by sixty thousand Montagnard tribespeople who want their mountain homeland back.
The Vietcong are on to Rider’s game and have placed a bounty on his head. As he hunts the opium fields, skirmishes with enemy patrols, and defends the undermanned US base, Rider makes a disturbing discovery: someone close to home has a stake in the opium smuggling ring--and will kill to protect it.
Written by a master, and as authentic as Matterhorn or Dog Soldiers, Red Flags is a riveting new addition to espionage fiction.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这是一个发生在越南的关于战士和间谍的故事。 艾瑞克•瑞德(Erik Rider)正享受这场战争,却被派去捣乱人家的罂粟田。面对突如其来的一切,他尽力去完成任务。这支美国小分队和冷漠的越南联盟在数量上和敌军相比无疑是以卵击石。而且部落民众虎视眈眈。为此,他们将希望寄托在瑞德身上,希望他能深入敌腹,找到突破口。然而,他却发现了更恼人的秘密。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
