Our hero is Major Cletus Howell Frade, USMCR, who becomes engaged to an Argentine woman during 1943, sees the country through it's revolution and becomes a hero of the OSS. WEB Griffin writes a great story that takes forever to get rolling. I had a little trouble keeping up with all of the characters--there are many. The book is written in typical Griffin style--you know when there's a piece of paper involved, the character is going to read it...all of it! ( ) no reviews | add a review
