    This is the story of William "Skip" Sands, CIA, engaged in Psychological Operations against the Vietcong, and the disasters that befall him. This is also the story of the Houston brothers, Bill and James, young men who drift out of the Arizona desert and into a war in which the line between disinformation and delusion has blurred away. In its vision of human folly, this is a story like nothing in our literature.

    Story

    Wow.. I just couldn't stay with this book, which I felt rambled from character to character, scene to scene. It received such a good review on Audible's website that I gave it a try, but even Will Patton's superb performing skills didn't redeem it, in my opinion.
