Review: Review for "The Valkyrie Mandate" by Robert Vaughan

The story is set in Saigon, 1963. American Colonel Justin Barclay, long time resident of Viet Nam, is watching a power struggle unfold in this country he has come to love. He is called in by the government to assist with a coupe that will have tremendous consequences for all. Torn by duty and love for the abused wife of the political dicator, Barkclay has manipulate a game where no one can be trusted, and no one can afford to lose.

An excellent historical work that takes the reader back to the beginning of the Viet Nam war- bringing to life a confusing and intensely precarious situation that most American's know about, but few understand. This novel pulls you into into the war itself through its very real characters and it's suspense. All in all, a great read!
