"Loaded with plenty of whiskey-tango-foxtrot moments, War Under the Mango Tree is a thoroughly entertaining lampoon of the US military machine via a fictionalized mission in an equally fictional Central African country... Not since Catch 22 has a novel this brilliant come along. Five cheeky stars!" -David Edlund, USA Today bestselling author of "Guarding Savage"

". . . a brilliant satire of the hypocrisy, bureaucracy, banality, and ineptitude of the military. . .scathingly funny and often feels absurd-yet other times, all too real." -David Aretha, editor of multiple award-winning military books

A story of American military adventurism gone awry...

At a remote military camp in Africa, a small detachment of American soldiers and their local allies wage a high-tech manhunt to neutralize a notorious warlord and defeat his rebel army. But as the quixotic campaign unfolds, glory-seeking generals, rapacious mercenaries, and corrupt government officials are determined to turn war into a business opportunity.

As the three-book series unfolds, chaos threatens to topple the government of the longtime American ally. Amid the turmoil, the country's aging autocrat looks to Beijing for support, raising fears in Washington as rivals race to exploit the region's vast mineral reserves. American spies, diplomats, and soldiers race against time and each other to prop up a crooked regime in the name of superpower competition.

In the tradition of writers such as Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut and Evelyn Waugh, The Gisawi Chronicles expose the absurdities of modern warfare as it intersects with technology, politics, and big business. The result is a darkly painted satire of war, money and corruption on the far flung reaches of Pax Americana.
