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.
