Time of War

Michael Peterson. Pocket Books, $5.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-671-70126-0

This Vietnam war story involves secret negotiations for peace, CIA operatives against a French spy and soldiers' struggle to survive while obeying nonsensical commanding officers. ``Peterson adroitly evokes embassy intrigue and his battle scenes are immediate and compelling,'' said PW. ``Some readers may be taken aback by the powerful, troubled current of sexuality, however.''
