Rese�a del editor

Pete Barre is young, intelligent, and idealistic -- a bad combination of traits for a person serving in the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. Unable to sit back while lies are being told, he bucks the system and it bucks back. He is assigned hazardous duties without the support any soldier might expect. Scrambling to survive, he finds Dana Cohen, a doctor at a Catholic Hospital in Laos. She provides a lifeline, enabling him to endure the pressures placed on him by his countrymen. Her closeness to him is seen as a problem by the Americans, and her aid is cut off. With no place to go, help comes from and unlikely source. A French opium dealer, a remnant of the First Indochina war, intercedes in their behalf. Pete and Dana escape to become persons without a country.

Biograf�a del autor

In Vietnam, J. F. Cronin was exposed to use of aboriginal tribes in support American ends. Two radically distinct peoples had different war aims, and in the fault line of cultures he has crafted Signs Hanging on the Wire. It is a remembrance with lessons for today?s wars.
