In the early 1950s, when Wiley Earnest Freeman arrived in besieged Korea, the wheels of fate and fortune for a good many people shifted gears. Earlier, as a platoon sergeant on the frontlines in World War II, Wiley Earnest Freeman grew familiar with the layout of a typical battlefield, but the Cold War has changed everything. Now the bustling streets of major cities and the boardrooms of government organizations are where the really lethal dramas play out. To combat the Soviet threat, the United States is fielding a new kind of operative-like Freeman, who's selected to join the Department of State's international information program.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Freeman is sent on assignment to South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and elsewhere, he meets important allies and encounters hostile enemies. An elderly Australian missionary, a Soviet double agent, a noted female correspondent, an American security expert, and an adventurous female diplomat all play roles in Freeman's early exploits.\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough Freeman finds friendship and even romance on his missions, his life is frequently at risk, and he sees a key colleague killed by Communist insurgents. Upon learning of a Soviet mole in the US government, he quietly notifies an FBI contact. In a scheme involving double agents, the Vatican and others, the treacherous spy comes under close surveillance. The battlefield may indeed be very different, but Freeman's loyalty to his country will never waver. Will this idealism be his demise?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e C.
