Acts of Honor (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

For Morgan Buckner, guard duty at Abu Ghraib prison turns deadly when his only friend is murdered during a prison riot. The young soldier exacts his revenge in a way that elicits valuable intelligence from the murderous prisoner, but violates the Geneva Conventions. While the information pays dividends that save American lives, General Robert Tannerbeck must decide whether to put the welfare of his men ahead of international law and his own personal honor.But when US Marines capture an American journalist embedded with Sunni terrorists, the resulting chain of events leads to corruption at the highest levels of the military, within Congress, and at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Throughout it all, Tannerbeck fights a losing battle to retain his honor, while Buckner comes to embrace the concepts of Duty, Honor, and County."Acts of Honor has become mandatory reading at the Pentagon. The first serious fiction to emerge from the American experience at Abu Ghraib, Dickinson spins a believable military thriller with epic violence, an evocative sense of place, and characters who spring from the page." -Susan Mathews, author of Prisoner of Conscience, Hour of Judgement, and An Exchange of Hostages.
