This Way to Heaven - Softcover

""This Way To Heaven" goes the military thrillers of Clancy, Brown and Bond one better, setting a new standard by which the genre will have to be judged."--Jon Land, author of "The Walls of Jericho" "[A] powerful action novel based on Foley's travels through wartime Bosnia....While employing his considerable narrative powers to manipulate plotlines, Foley objectively presents the Balkans' political and historical complexities, slipping behind the Maginot line of statistics and political spin to make plain the terrible human suffering of the men, women and children afflicted by the conflict."--"Publishers Weekly"

American soldier Robert Jackson joined the army to earn tuition for college; he wanted only to settle down with his high school sweetheart and start a family. He came to Bosnia to help UN forces keep the peace - only to find that there was no peace to keep. Frustrated by his inability to help the Bosnian people, Jackson begins running guns with a band of Muslim students. He is soon caught, and runs off with his cohorts to avoid a court martial. "Colonel" Samuel West is sent to Jackson by a trusted benefactor with a mission that West says could "end the war." He needs Jackson to lead him through dangerous territory- and that's where their hellish adventure begins.
