MISSIONARIES - PHIL KLAY KARTONIERT (TB)

The debut novel from the National Book Award-winning author of Redeployment [This] compact epic
of a novel contains perhaps Klay's finest writing yet…Using his formidable gifts for
scene-setting  meaningful irony and deep human empathy  Klay weaves together a set of stories
over the course of nearly three decades…Amid raging fires and illness and constitutional crises
Klay's book roars something vital: Never forget about war or the blood and bone and the evil
and the reckless idealism of who we all really are. -Los Angeles Times A group of Colombian
soldiers prepares to raid a drug lord's safe house on the Venezuelan border. They're watching
him with an American-made drone  about to strike using military tactics taught to them by U.S.
soldiers who honed their skills to lethal perfection in Iraq. In Missionaries  Phil Klay
examines the globalization of violence through the interlocking stories of four American and
Colombian characters and the conflicts that define their lives. Drawing on six years of
research in America and Colombia into the effects of the modern way of war on regular people 
Klay has written a novel of extraordinary suspense infused with geopolitical sophistication and
storytelling instincts that are second to none. Missionaries is a window not only into modern
war  but into the individual lives that go on long after the drones have left the skies.
