Author: Nash, Charles

Condition: New

Spanning a period of almost forty years and crossing four continents, The Boundary Project reveals the workings of a top secret organization within the U.S. Department of State and the Central Intelligence Agency, and examines the lives of some of the people caught up in its web. This is a story of individuals, of the power of ideas, of passion, of fear, and of terror. It is also a story of conspiracy and attempts to co-opt an entire citizenry by capitalizing on the fear terror brings. As suicide bombings sweep across the U.S., Robert Hester and his wife Thi Minh come to understand how their lives reflect the tumult and deceit born in the Vietnam War and nurtured by millions of individual injustices visited upon ordinary human beings by corrupt governments and ethnic conflicts. Robert and Thi Minh understand that the roots of terrorism go deep; that fear is contagious; and that in the end we are left alone with a fate shaped by our own actions.
