Another very good book by Coyle
Coyle's ongoing series is a great worst-case scenario study! They seem to be pulled straight from existing military what-ifs and are exciting to read.
This one takes war into a different arena.
A corrupt and fractured government in Bogota', Colombia, requests a small expeditionary force of U.S. Troops to combat drug lords and a growing insurgency. It's a scenario for disaster: an unstable country, an elusive enemy, a political and military minefield. The 11th Air Assault Division is called on to act as a police force, even while Brigadier General Scott Dixon reports back from a fact-finding mission that is's a war America can't win. But for a paper-pushing U.S. Major General in Bogota', no initiative is too risky to safeguard his career. Then Capt. Nancy Kozak-under assault in the field, but determined to avert defeat and protect the soldiers in her command-dares to defy him. With careers hanging in the balance, Kozak is struggling to survive an explosive clash that pits resolve against prejudice, and honor against ambition.
Coyle never diapoints in the war and intrigue
style.
