AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Like many daughters of famous fathers, Cleo Spearfield has a large shadow to escape. But Cleo's situation is worse than most - her father's tentacles reach everywhere. Everywhere, that is, except Vietnam, where as a war correspondent Cleo stakes her first claim to her own personality and to the first two men in her life. But someone wants to obstruct Cleo's rise to fame. Someone wants to keep her from succeeding in man's world. Someone had better watch out. No one says 'No' to Spearfield's daughter.'
