Corporate executive Ben Tyson thought he had put the horror of the Vietnam war behind him, but 16 years later his world begins to fall apart. A book is written that shocks the nation with its allegations of a civilian massacre by soldiers under the command of Lt. Ben Tyson, and the Army realizes it cannot afford to ignore the charges. Tyson is called back to active duty to face a court martial. Is Tyson guilty of murder or is he a convenient scapegoat? DeMille sets the stage for a stunning novel about moral culpability in war. Ben Tyson is forced to assess his duty to the men he fought with, his family, his country, and himself. When will the war finally be over for the men who fought it, as well as for those who agonized at home?
