American Gung Ho tactics in the Venezuelan Amazon Jungle and C.I.A. intrigue after the mission. AUTHOR'S COMMENT: "Whilst visiting my American friend Lee at his home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia (he says call him a Hill William) I took in the local colour and visited the graves and sites of the famous Hatfield/McCoy feud. That was the birth of the idea for this novel which is centred around Joss Hatfield, a fictitious descendant of Devil Anse Hatfield."
