A Henchman's Honor by Dennis M. Young

A Henchman's Honor is a dark, white knuckle journey that manages to be hilarious as it accelerates rapidly until its crash into the abyss of conscience. Dennis learns about freedom, independence, conflict and consequences as a young boy on the farm. His life lessons are challenged when he goes through the confused public school system, which teaches him little more that to endure the travails of life. Dennis sets his innate values aside and gains experience as a soldier, policeman and intelligence operator, which causes him to lose what little respect he had for the many institutions held sacred in a democracy. The story culminates with his participation as a NATO intelligence operator in the Bosnian war at the end of 1995. There, he participates in an intelligence operation that pursues the Mujahadeen. He watches as the Mujahadeen were not expelled or killed, but received a strong embrace by American officials. For other reasons, the operation devastates him. Dennis makes a deep connection with his intelligence handler and learns the real reasons NATO went to Bosnia and the agenda that the American gov't has for the world. It is a violent, thoughtful story of betrayal, cost and redemption that reveals previously undisclosed, shocking truths that every citizen should know. Dennis Young is the former leader of the Libertarian Party of Canada.
