Opening paragraphs...................

"My worst dreams have always contained images of brown water and fields of elephant grass and the downdraft of helicopter blades.  The dreams are in color but they contain no sound, not of drowned voices in the river or the explosions under the hooches in the village we burned or the thropping of the Jolly Green and the gunships coming low and flat across the canopy, like insects pasted against the molten sun."
-James Lee Burke,  The Tin Roof Blowdown
