What this book is about
Robert Karjel's military thriller (translated from Swedish) follows Ernst Grip, a Swedish military attaché, as he is drawn into an investigation in East Africa — hostages, warlords, and Swedish soldiers caught between rules of engagement and the real world of conflict. Karjel, a Swedish military officer himself, writes with the authority of someone who understands both the institutional and human dimensions of modern warfare.
