After returning home from Vietnam, George Wheeler, a former US Army Ranger, is finally putting the pieces of his life back together … until an unexpected letter arrives, threatening the peace he has been fighting so hard to build. George is being recalled to active duty—a shock that immediately places him at odds with everyone around him, including his passionately pro-peace girlfriend. He expects to be sent back to the sweltering, oppressive jungle. Instead, he finds himself joining an undercover cat-and-mouse game designed to disrupt America’s anti-war movement. Leaving behind those he loves in a cloud of lies, George must disappear into the persona of a disgruntled vet intent upon domestic terrorism. As he becomes increasingly entangled in the web of destruction and deceit, however, he begins to suspect there may be more to the mission than meets the eye, leaving him with a desperate decision to make. Will George continue to follow orders, putting innocent lives in the line of fire? Or will he go off the grid, giving up his freedom—and possibly his life—in the name of honor?

General Jacob L. "Jake" Devers (1897–1979) was one of only two officers—the other was Omar C. Bradley—to command an army group during the decisive campaigns of 1944–1945 that liberated Europe and ended the war with Nazi Germany. After the war, Devers led the Army Ground Forces in the United States and eventually retired in 1949 after forty years of service. Despite incredible successes on the battlefield, General George C. Marshall's "dependable man" remains one of the most underrated and overlooked figures of his generation. In this definitive biography, James Scott Wheeler delivers a groundbreaking reassessment of the American commander whose contributions to victory in Europe are topped only by General Dwight D. Eisenhower's. Wheeler's exhaustively researched chronicle of Devers's life and career reveals a leader who demonstrated an extraordinary ability to cut through red tape and solve complex problems. Nevertheless, Eisenhower disliked Devers—a fact laid bare when he ordered Devers's Sixth Army Group to halt at the Rhine. After the war, Eisenhower's and Bradley's accounts of the generals' disagreements over strategy and tactics became received wisdom, to the detriment of Devers's reputation. An essential contribution to twentieth-century history, Jacob L. Devers provides a fresh and nuanced interpretation of the senior command during World War II and offers a new perspective on a highly accomplished soldier.
