While the French Army in Indo-China is grappling with the Vietminh, back in Saigon a young and high-minded American named Pyle begins to channel economic aid to a "Third Force." Caught between French colonialists and the Vietminh, Fowler, the narrator and seasoned foreign correspondent, observes: "I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused." As young Pyle's policies blunder on into bloodshed, the older man finds it impossible to stand aside as an observer.
Julius Fast, who changed the way we look at the world with his breakthrough bestseller Body Language, now updates and expands upon those principles to show us how to go beyond the obvious in the workplace and understand the real motives and hidden agendas of our co-workers.
