Trashhauler's Ball

As American military flier Michael Cope nears retirement, he finds his life coming apart. The emotional toll of marital problems leaves him unprepared for what he faces in Latin America -- a major escalation of the war on drugs, and attacks by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, the FARC. A search for a downed pilot draws Cope into the bloody realities of a country infested with leftist insurgencies and rightist death squads. In the tradition of All Quiet on the Western Front and The Thin Red Line, Thomas W. Young explores the dedication and sacrifices of the individual fighting man.Young, Thomas W. is the author of 'Trashhauler's Ball', published 2003 under ISBN 9781593301194 and ISBN 1593301197.
