Description
Captain Harding's Six-Day War by Elliott Mackle is a gripping novel that explores themes of identity and loyalty in the midst of war. When Captain Joe Harding is assigned to babysit a volatile colonel at Wheelus Air Base, Libya, he finds himself drawn into a complex web of relationships and conflicts. As Joe navigates his off-duty life, including romantic encounters with enlisted medics and majors, he also forms a close bond with the American ambassador's teenage son. However, when feelings of attraction become mutual, Joe struggles to acknowledge or reciprocate them due to societal expectations. The novel takes a dramatic turn as Joe faces challenges such as murder, drug abuse, fist-fights, and personal loss. As tensions rise in the run-up to the 1967 war, Joe must make a difficult choice between coming out to his closest friends or risking everything by staying closeted. With significant erotic content and salty language, this novel offers a raw and unflinching portrayal of life during wartime.
