Blindside, written by a former Navy legal officer, is the story of
Commander Neal Olen, 44, an intelligence officer who faces charges
of adultery and possibly leaking secrets. It is an insider's look
at the archaic and potentially crushing machinery of military
justice. Olen's troubles begin in 1999 when he is recognized as the
officer on whom a fictional character is based in a salacious,
tell-all novel. Its author is a woman with whom he had a weekend
affair five years earlier while separated from his wife.
Information about the nation's reconnaissance satellites somehow
found its way into her novel. Olen finds himself a pawn of the
author, hoping to hype her book and the Navy, eager to make an
example of him in its push for "zero tolerance" of sex scandals and
for airtight security on intelligence information. He grapples with
the ethical dilemma: When caught in an unjust system, is honesty
still a virture?
