A corrupt and fractured government in Bogota', Colombia, requests a small expeditionary force of U.S. Troops to combat drug lords and a growing insurgency. It's a scenario for disaster: an unstable country, an elusive enemy, a political and military minefield. The 11th Air Assault Division is called on to act as a police force, even while Brigadier General Scott Dixon reports back from a fact-finding mission that is's a war America can't win. But for a paper-pushing U.S. Major General in Bogota', no initiative is too risky to safeguard his career. Then Capt. Nancy Kozak-under assault in the field, but determined to avert defeat and protect the soldiers in her command-dares to defy him. With careers hanging in the balance, Kozak is struggling to survive an explosive clash that pits resolve against prejudice, and honor against ambition.
