True life man-hunt thriller set in postwar Manila, where two innocent Americans and an innocent Russian emigre are falsely identified as Communist agents supplying guns and money to Communist rebels in the countryside. All three are captured and put in notorious Bilibad Prison, but manage to escape. Both Americans flee the country, but the Russian emigre is trapped, tortured, and murdered by being thrown out of a helicopter over the South China Sea. A true story, told by bestselling authors Sterling & Peggy Seagrave. The Seagraves have published ten books about crime and corruption in Asia, many of them bestsellers in different languages. Sterling is the fifth generation of an American family living in Asia, was an investigative reporter for The Washington Post, and then contributed to many magazines and newspapers such as TIME, Newsweek, Esquire, Atlantic Monthly, and the Far Eastern Economic Review. Peggy Seagrave worked for the Smithsonian Institution before joining Time-Life Books where she and Sterling worked on a dozen books together before marrying and moving to Europe. They now divide their time between Frace and Southeast Asia.

    Great read. A well-researched, troubling story of abuse of power by the infant post-WWII American intelligence community in Asia, foreshadowing the shameful, paranoid McCarthy Era in American history.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Lansdale Surfaces Once More. . .
    Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    The Seagraves continue their superb writings. Red Sky is not as in depth as their normal major projects, perhaps because its a smaller undertaking and thus smaller in scope. The story centers on three men who meet in the PI, to undertake a program of getting rich quick. Only one truly survives. In a more important sense, the book provides further insight to the actions of WWII OSS and later CIA/DOD operations in the Philippines by then Lt. Col. Edward G. Lansdale and his recruited PI military associates. Lansdale was just becoming or revealing the textbook sociopath characteristics of those who tended to rise in the ranks of the intelligence community during and following WWII. The Seagraves give insight on his early career moves and activities that became his signature in his later life in Viet Nam, the Pentagon, and ultimately the White House and beyond. The reader must go to the Seagrave book: The Gold Warriors to fully appreciate the scope of Lansdale's "service" to the country. Additional info may be found in L. Fletcher Prouty's, JFK : The CIA, Vietnam and The Plot to Kill the President.

    Excellent historical story - anyone in the military or DOD/Govt should read this.

    I would recommend all service academies, all ROTC students be required to read the book.

    When you read this book, you will understand some of the history of the Phillippines, history of the Southeast Asian theater, that you won't be taught in school.

    I have seen the DVD "The trials of Henry Kissinger" and "The Fog Of War"/McNamara which I think are good movies of that period in time as well.
