Missionaries
Missionaries | Phil Klay
2 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
Neither Mason, a US Special Forces medic, nor Lisette, a foreign correspondent, has emerged from America's long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan unscathed. Yet, for them, war still exerts a terrible draw - the noble calling, the camaraderie, the life-and-death stakes. Where else in the world can such a person go? All roads lead to Colombia, where the US has partnered with the local government to stamp out a vicious civil war and keep the predatory narco gangs at bay. Mason is ready for the good war, and Lisette is more than ready to cover it. Missionaries is an astonishment, a novel of extraordinary suspense whose central, unsparing drama is infused by a geopolitical sophistication and a rare wisdom about the human heart.

Pickpick

This book shows the connections between wars that are continents apart which is a sad thought.
Good story in that context

Had to bail on this one. Plenty of action and interesting characters but a LOT of backstory to start and I just wasn‘t in the mood.
