...rest of the campaign would be easy. It was. The next morning the Golani infantrymen met only token resistance as they pushed on to the Lebanese border. From its behind-the-lines stronghold at Kallah, tanks raced along undefended roads toward the Syrian headquarters at El Quneitra. In the central sector, the diversionary probes of the previous day expanded into a full-scale pincer movement that took Aalleiga, a pivotal point in the Syrian second line of defense, and then split into flying columns that sped north to El Quneitra and south to Boutmiye.

Not bad for a dream. Even better as the real McCoy. So U.S. Army Captain Frank Lennon, 25, a West Pointer and a gentleman, scraped off the mud and flew to Saigon...
...central figure, a paunchy, 37-year-old promoter of pop singers, is neither big enough to be a hero nor mean enough to be an antihero-it is simply a case of the protagonist as pudding (in this case, Yorkshire). Peter Reaney is as square as Trafalgar. He dangles from familiar hang-ups: a nagging wife whom he calls Her Malevolence, a job about which he feels guilty, and a loathing for the contemporary English way of life.
