About this listen
Taking the fight to the sea, the Americans attempt to cut off the weapons and supplies flowing to the Viet Cong. Colonel Lansdale’s paramilitary teams are up to their old tricks executing multiple raids and demoralizing the North.
The Viet Cong struggle to combat helicopters and warplanes flown by covert American pilots. Losing ground to South Vietnamese forces, the VC’s war-proven tactics do not work against the new technology. If the revolution is to survive, the VC must find a new strategy to deal with the Americans.
The Cold War raises its ugly head in Cuba and threatens to engulf the world in a nuclear war. Kennedy is again put to the test by Khrushchev. Any miscalculation by the leaders of either nation could cost the lives of tens of millions as the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolds.
As time runs short before a key operative is revealed and executed, American pilot Tom Coyle enlists the help of CIA sniper Rene Granier in a daring covert mission into the heart of North Vietnam.
The war suffers a major shift at the Battle of Ap Bac as the Americans begin to recognize the true nature of the enemy they are fighting to keep South Vietnam free.
Like all the historical novels in the Airmen Series, The Uncivil War is based on true events and real people. It’s full of military action, suspense, and detail about the final days before the fateful decision to commit American ground troops to Vietnam.

Story
In 1967, something has changed, and not in a good way. For the first time, the communists are holding territory that they have captured near the borders of Laos and North Vietnam. It could be that the leaders in Hanoi want to secure supply and reinforcement routes into South Vietnam… or it could be something far more nefarious. The communists’ new strategy is an opportunity for the U.S. military and its allies to finally engage their enemy in a large-scale, set-piece battle that would allow American airpower and artillery to destroy a massive enemy force. It’s tempting bait. Such a ...

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
