In the war on terror, it is often difficult to tell who the enemy is. Sometimes your fiercest opponent isn't an insurgent or a fanatic bent on making a statement in blood, but a chain of command that is pursuing goals and objectives that have nothing to do with your unit's stated mission. Nathan Dixon finds out just how true this is when a new battalion commander, Lieutenant colonel Robert Delmont, convinces his superiors that he has an all but foolproof plan for defeating Islamic terrorists in the Philippines -- a plan that will ensure Delmont's promotion to full colonel and beyond.
But the 3rd Battalion of the 75th Rangers is pitted against no fool. Determined to create a fundamentalist Islamic state in Southwest Asia, a charismatic terrorist by the name of Handani Summirat units the various Islamic factions into a confederation. Its aim is to drag the United States into a protracted war of attrition that the Americans cannot win. Summirat's factions play out a deadly game of cat and mouse, drawing the American forces into ambushes and small, bloody encounters with a highly trained core of Islamic fighters.
Lieutenant General Scott Dixon, deputy chief of staff for operations with the U.S. Army -- and Nathans father -- soon realizes that the enemy is practically impossible to hunt down. They are killing American troops almost at will. General Dixon knows that if the mission continues, many more Americans will be wounded or killed -- perhaps even his own son. But his pleas to his commander in chief are practically ignored.
