A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Lieutenant Matt McDermott seems the perfect candidate to be the US Army's symbolic hero of Iraq during the military action of 2003. Young, principled, and with a pair of winning brown eyes, McDermott is the clean-cut golden boy of a spin doctor's dreams. His future looks assured when New York-based freelance photographer Alexandra Stead is sent to Baghdad to capture the face that will become the source of national pride - and boost the President's re-election campaign. But beneath the surface a shocking scenario has yet to emerge. Alex discovers the frightening secret that could bring everything crashing down, and finds herself battling the might of the CIA. As she experiences first hand the horrors of war, she realises that Lieutenant McDermott is fighting an excruciating and destructive struggle with his conscience. A fast-paced, gripping thriller, An Enemy Within raises political and ethical issues surrounding war.
