...that any Argentine ship or aircraft found more than twelve miles from Argentina's mainland would be considered hostile and dealt with "accordingly." Buenos Aires' Ambassador to the U.N.

It takes the tendresse of Marie and the cunning of Carlos to impel Cain toward his moment of truth...

The vehicles are BMDs, a combination light tank and armored personnel carrier used by Soviet airborne divisions. The versatile, 8-ton vehicle is armed with a 73 mm gun, three machine guns and an antitank missile launcher, and carries a crew of five. Like all Soviet-armed vehicles-including the similar but slightly larger BMPs that are also being shipped to Afghanistan-the airtight...
