false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168465655m/33820.jpg 33820 22 In <I>Up Country</I>, Nelson DeMille cannily revives the army career of Chief Warrant Officer Paul Brenner, the cynical, hardworking Criminal Investigation Division man who was forcibly retired after solving the high-profile killing in <I>The General's Daughter</I>. Brenner's called back to investigate the murder of a young army lieutenant by his captain. The catch is, the crime took place during the heat of the Tet Offensive, and the only living witness was a North Vietnamese soldier who described the incident in a 30-year-old letter that has only recently come to light. Soon Brenner, a Vietnam vet, is on an ostensible nostalgia tour of his old stomping grounds. The trip immediately turns dangerous as he heads "up country" to search for the letter writer, accompanied by a gorgeous American businesswoman, who's hiding more than even the smartest CID officer could imagine. <p> DeMille, who saw his own tour of duty in Vietnam (and even found a letter on a dead Vietnamese soldier), intersperses historical facts and chilling political possibilities with enough local color to provide some serious flashbacks for his fellow veterans. To non-vets the book may seem very long, but the payoff at the end is worth a couple hundred extra pages. <I>--Barrie Trinkle</I> 3343186 2002 Up Country total:1759|5:502|4:652|3:455|2:124|1:26| 1759 6757 2109 140 33820 0446611913 9780446611916 1658 128 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168465655m/33820.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33820.Up_Country 4 0 false Tue Jan 27 19:50:29 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 19:51:47 -0800 2009 The General's Daughter, Paul has been forcibly retired having pissed off a lot of brass His former boss, Colonel Helden, calls him up for a meeting at the Wall wh...more...]]> 33820 0446611913 9780446611916 1658 128 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168465655m/33820.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33820.Up_Country 3 0 false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 16:09:46 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 16:09:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 33820 0446611913 9780446611916 1658 128 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168465655m/33820.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33820.Up_Country 2 0 false Fri Apr 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 09:05:25 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 13:10:24 -0700 2009 more...]]> 33820 0446611913 9780446611916 1658 128 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168465655m/33820.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33820.Up_Country 5 1 false Mon Oct 08 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Mar 27 11:46:44 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 22 13:30:56 -0700 2008 33820 0446611913 9780446611916 1658 128 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168465655m/33820.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33820.Up_Country 5 0 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Jan 30 22:53:40 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 30 23:01:45 -0800 2009 more...]]> 33820 0446611913 9780446611916 1658 128 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168465655m/33820.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33820.Up_Country 4 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Oct 29 23:57:33 -0700 2009 Wed Dec 02 03:47:37 -0800 2009
