Army Blue by Lucian K. Truscott IV is a tense, multi-generational military thriller set in Saigon during the Vietnam War. Lt. Matthew Nelson Blue IV, a 23 year old platoon leader, is falsely accused of desertion after friendly fire kills one of his men. As his father and gruff grandfather, both career Army officers, race to defend him, they resurrect long standing family tensions. Truscott delivers gripping courtroom drama, vivid combat scenes and a sharp critique of institutional corruption and generational divide.
