The Good Lieutenant basically starts with a bang as an operation led by Lieutenant Emma Fowler of the Twenty-Seventh Infantry Battalion will go spectacularly incorrect. Men are dead - one, a Iraqi, by her hand. Others were troops in her platoon. Along with the signals officer, Dixon Pulowski. Pulowski is another tale totally - Fowler and Pulowski have been lovers given that they fulfilled at Fort Riley in Kansas. From this conflagration, The Good Lieutenant unspools backward in time as Fowler and her platoon are led into catastrophe by suspicious informants and doubtful brains, their very quest the result of a past snafu when a soldier have been kidnapped by insurgents. And even further back, before things began to go so incorrect, we see the backstory unfold from tips of view that always are not shown in war coverage - a lady frontline officer, for just one, but also jaded profession troops and Iraqis both innocent and not so innocent. Inevitably, as each one of these stories unravel, what's revealed is what goes on when good motives ruin, experience distorts, and success becomes everything. Brilliantly advised and expertly captured by a good writer near the top of his form, Whitney Terrell's The Good Lieutenant is a gripping, insightful, necessary book about a war that is proving to be the defining tragedy of our time.
