Missionaries: A Novel

"Phil Klay was a Marine and you can feel it. Missionaries takes us around the world, from the chaos in Iraq and Afghanistan to turmoil in rural Colombia. Along the way, we meet a cascade of fascinating characters whose allegiances change quickly from narcos to rebels to militias. This is a gray universe where it’s difficult to distinguish the good guys and gals from the bad, and it rings true to those of us who have spent time in these places. The interconnected worlds of the military medic, the Colombian army officer, the burned-out reporter and the death squad recruit will stick with you long after you close this book."
