THE MIDDLE EAST CHAOSALWAYS WASAND ALWAYS WILL BEMiddle East. 1980s. Eric Ketch has a new assignment that takes him to Pakistan, Cyprus, Egypt and Lebanon. His mission is to free an American professor taken hostage in Beirut. The timing couldn't be worse. The Israelis have invaded Lebanon and clashed with the Palestinians there. The U. S. Embassy and Marine Corps compound have been blown up by suicide bombers and the civil war rages on. It is absolute anarchy and everyone is shooting everyone else regardless of their sectarian, religious or political affiliations. But Ketch has a reputation for flying in, figuring it out and improvising on the ground to get the job done. He still finds time for exotic women, but learns that they all have their own agendas. Written by a former journalist who survived that chaos. NOT FOR THE POLITICALLY CORRECT
