About this listen
The son of a celebrated journalist searches for the truth to his father’s dark past.
Everyone knows Hawkins is not the reporter his father - a famous war correspondent - was. Hawkins’s fondness for drink disqualifies him from the kind of reporting that is his birthright. But with a father like his, the newspaper cannot let him go. Instead, the board has asked him to write a biography of his father - a fluff project designed to keep Hawkins out of trouble. But the assignment leads to unsuspected, shocking revelations.
Hawkins’ father made his name as a war correspondent in Vietnam, where terrible secrets still remain buried. When Hawkins digs into the story of one raid - a skirmish that produced four heroes, a future president among them - the horrible truth he discovers will change his life forever.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Brian Freemantle including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

A riveting story. A very slow start, Great once it got going
A very well constructed story. I felt the start was hum drum. But once it got going it was gripping. So well written, So understanding of people and roles that they play.
Most enjoyable.

Intense and heady
Perfectly narrated, intense dramatic tale set 8 years after the end of the Vietnam war. Hawkins, using alcohol as a crutch measured by others and himself in gills and jiggers, against his famous father and found wanting.
The author has a true knack of characterizations to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of his MCs, then weaves a Gordian Knot so entangled you need your wits about you to keep up, but so worth the trip.
INTENSE AND ENJOYABLE
