“Something new for the canon of war stories...a true twenty-first century document: respectful of its antecedents but blazing its own path; a big, straight-faced, but subtly accommodating book that makes room for the absurd and the humane, for a sense of purpose and a sense of futility in equal measure.” —
Sewanee ReviewIraq War veteran Phil Klay follows up his National Book Award-winning story collection
Deployment with
Missionaries, a novel of extraordinary suspense infused with geopolitical sophistication and storytelling instincts that are second to none. Drawing on six years of research in America and Colombia into the effects of the modern way of war on regular people, Klay's novel is a window not only into modern war, but into the individual lives that go on long after the drones have left the skies. In conversation with U.S. Army veteran Brian Van Reet, bestselling author of
Spoils.
