Possessed of astonishing dramatic, emotional, and philosophical resonance, A Flag for Sunrise is a novel in the grand tradition about Americans drawn into the maelstrom of a small Central American country on the brink of revolution. 

The time is now.  The country is Tecan, an ancient, complex society now swarming with homegrown terrorists, revolutionaries and counterrevolutionaries, as well as spooks and intriguers from abroad. And from the moment we enter the book- with the terrifying Lieutenant Campos of Tecan's Guardia Nacional- we are seized by the dangers, the nightmare suspense, of life lived on the rim of a political volcano.

Editorial Reviews

"Powerful stuff...[It is] at once a topical thriller, a political tract, a novel of ideas, a religious parable...impossible to forget." --Chicago Sun-Times

"Stone's force is undeniable." --Village Voice
