Real-world hostility. A new global threat. Hostage rescues, chemical weapons, and the Vietnam War.
“I read the book in one day!! Unputdownable! Book two, Drums of War is so worth the wait. But book three can't be published fast enough. Your emotions will run the gamut as you dive into the next phase of these rich characters' lives.”--Brandi Wood
Following a personal tragedy and their graduation from West Point, 2nd Lieutenants Jake Jacobs and Patrick McSwain don the army blue to fulfill their obligation to the U.S. Army by serving in the combat arms. Jake joins the Green Berets and Patrick becomes a Huey Cobra helicopter pilot. It’s the Vietnam War in action, the final throes of agony for the American military. Both boys have become men and the women who love them find that Duty-Honor-Country is their way of life.
Jake leads the last inland mission in South Vietnam and is thrust into combat with global terrorists and their death-dealing use of hijackings and chemical weapons on American soil. Patrick supports troops on the ground with a helicopter that is terrifyingly capable of tearing things up. At the same time, a murderous enemy, encouraged by the Cold War, tests the resolve and adaptability of America to counter enemies foreign and domestic. A demoralized military that has fallen out of public favor makes for uncertain careers, shifting internal politics at the highest levels of command, and military families that suffer indignities for serving one’s country.
Like the first volume West Point, Drums of War is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Told with heart and humor, the book is a thriller of a journey, filled with mystery and suspense.
Drums of War is a must-read for any reader interested in the great history of military life, patriotism, and the Armed Forces. This coming-of-age story is also enjoyed best by readers of historical fiction, Christian fiction, and military fiction.
Drums of War is the latest novel in the trilogy A Full Measure.
