| I had a moment of panic. He was Vietnamese,
so there was no way I could trust him. Everyone said so . . . They were
sophisticated and very, very smart. Smart enough to know that an intelligence
officer named Matthew Fairchild, who worked in a sealed-off room and ate

busboy, would go with him wherever he wanted to go . . . |
In this ground-breaking novel about gays in the
military in the Vietnam War, Captain Matthew Fairchild is a desk officer
in Saigon, dedicated to serving his flag. He is also gay, a fact that he
must keep hidden from his commanding officer, the U.S. Army, and in fact
the whole world, except for Nhan.
