{"product_id":"father-war","title":"Father War","description":"A long-forgotten jungle campaign takes on new life in the troubled mind of John Spenser, a missing soldier's son.\n\nDetermined to restore the reputation of the scape-goated general who led the campaign, Spenser comes across a figure large enough to fill the shoes of his absent father.\n\nOut of the distant past, that \"missing\" soldier shows up hoping to heal old wounds, a homecoming that does not end well - for him, his son, or the woman he left behind.\n\n\"It's not every day that I read a story about a man on the run with his recently deceased wife's ashes on the shotgun seat of a rental car, but Tom Doherty's swift, engrossing novel about a guy for whom life has proceeded mostly without complications - until he finds himself reckoning with his own damaging history - is a page-turner with the feel of an instant classic.\"\n\n-- Susanna Daniel, author of the PEN award winning novel, STILTSVILLE.\n\n\"With one master-stroke after another, Thomas Doherty paints a picture so engaging and framed with such modest eloquence, that FATHER WAR reads like a compact, Americanized WAR AND PEACE. Whether writing about jungle combat, horse cavalry drills in the 1930s, or the denizens of a long-abandoned army training camp, Doherty is unflinchingly observant and psychologically at his characters' very hearts.\"\n\n-- Eric Larsen, author of AN AMERICAN MEMORY, winner of the Chicago Tribune's Heartland Prize.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1800462727\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1800462727.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Doherty, Thomas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
