But the war surrounds him. The US advisor takes Alsino on a chopper flight, but he's unimpressed.

Despite his knowledge, once he's there, MacWhite sees only a dichotomy between the U.S. and Communism.

So, he breaks from his friend Deong, a local opposition leader, ignores a foreman's advice about slowing the building of a road, and tries to muscle ahead. What price must the country and his friends pay for him to get some sense?
