{"product_id":"9781800462724-father-war","title":"Doherty Thomas - Father War - Paperback","description":"Binding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nDescription: A long - forgotten jungle campaign takes on new life in the troubled mind of John Spenser a missing soldier's son. Determined to restore the reputation of the scape - goated general who led the campaign Spenser comes across a figure large enough to fill the shoes of his absent father. Out of the distant past that \"missing\" soldier shows up hoping to heal old wounds a homecoming that does not end well for him his son or the woman he left behind. It's not every day that I read a story about a man on the run with his recently deceased wife's ashes on the shotgun seat of a rental car but Tom Doherty's swift engrossing novel about a guy for whom life has proceeded mostly without complications until he finds himself reckoning with his own damaging history is a page - turner with the feel of an instant classic. - - Susanna Daniel author of the PEN award winning novel Stiltsville. With one master - stroke after another Thomas Doherty paints a picture so engaging and framed with such modest eloquence that Father WAR reads like a compact Americanized WAR AND Peace. Whether writing about jungle combat horse cavalry drills in the 1930s or the denizens of a long - abandoned army training camp Doherty is unflinchingly observant and psychologically at his characters very hearts. - - Eric Larsen author of AN American Memory winner of the Chicago Tribune's Heartland Prize.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Father War\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Doherty Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Troubador Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781800462724\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 256 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: War \u0026amp; Combat Fiction","brand":"Doherty Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624258871601,"sku":"IN-G-9781800462724","price":14.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781800462724.jpg?v=1724943320","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781800462724-father-war","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
