The Deadliest Weapon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781466418080)

Struggling with his identity as an Army officer, Captain Peter Fleming returns to Vietnam to prove something to himself. After taking command of his new unit he quickly finds himself immersed in a deadly intelligence chess match with a masterful Viet Cong adversary. Actionpacked, this military thriller gives the inside perspective, never before told, of how ELINT- Electronic Intelligence was used leading up to TET, the major battle of the Vietnam War. In the secretive world of the Army Security Agency, Fleming and his crack team devise a new method for interpreting intelligence. Fleming and his Viet Cong counterpart lead their units in an epic life and death struggle. This cat and mouse saga takes one unexpected turn after another as each side fights to outwit the other. Fleming and his fellow American soldiers had to not only fight the enemy but also the incompetence and meddling by senior Washington politicians and the disgraceful propaganda of a liberal press, supported by dissidents, who made it appear the war was lost. Fleming understands the Vietnam War is a military victory, won by combat troops, on the ground, spilling their own blood. He is conflicted and questions what this victory means to the heroic men and women who tried to survive this war with honor. History, Espionage, Intrigue, Adventure, Suspense - The Deadliest Weapon has it all.
