by Thomas A. Hutchings (Author)
Tears of Tay Ninh tells the story of two U.S. Army Special Forces veterans whose involvement in black ops during the U.S. war in Vietnam draws them back to Southeast Asia decades later. Linked by their past, the men are nonetheless on divergent missions: while one seeks answers to the combat nightmare that's haunted him for years, the other is determined to locate and destroy the documents that will incriminate the masterminds behind the covert operation. As the story slides between past and present, the lines between good and evil, friend and foe, love and hate, blur nearly beyond distinction. Tears of Tay Ninh weaves a tangled web of truth and lies, transporting readers from the jungles of Vietnam to the polished halls of the U.S. Capital and back again, on a quest for love, peace, and vindication.
