More DescriptionMerciless Truth by Award-Winning Author, Suzanne PerazziniCara, an English journalist, flies into Katanga, the Congo in December, 1962 on a mission to find the truth about the role of the mercenaries in the Katangan war of secession from the Congo.She stays with Dan, a mercenary pilot whose wife was killed during the ill-fated Operation Morthor. He is morose, self-absorbed and determined to find the truth surrounding his wife's death.Cara sets off on a mission with the ground forces to rescue missionaries from a village in the north of Katanga. Protected by Jed, Dan's enemy and the leader of the team, Cara sees more horror and learns more painful truths about the brutality of jungle warfare than she has ever dreamed possible.PRAISE FOR MERCILESS TRUTH:"Merciless Truth is extremely engaging and well-written, with acute attention to detail that throws the reader deep into the story. Descriptions of the jungle and the panic are vivid and visceral- the author takes us to a place of carnage, but somehow makes us treasure the land and its inhabitants- with glimpses of beauty that you pray will become normality for the unwitting victims. The characters are multi-dimensional and well-drawn with surprising depth and complexity." Amazon Review
