The Green Parrots

It's l980. El Salvador is heading into civil war, with landless peasants backed by the Communists, and the landlords and Army aponsoring death squads. Neither side wants the U.S. solution: a moderate civilian government promoting land reform. Both sides agree, however, that it would be good to kill Peter Ivorson, the CIA's Chief of Operations. As if that weren't bad enough, Ivorson is also caught in the middle of a spitting match between the Ambassador and his boss, the CIA Chief of Station. In fact, about the only person in town who doesn't hate Ivorson is his boss's secretary. She wants him to forget his wife. Through all of this, Ivorson tries to stay alive and do his job, but sooner or later, even Peter Ivorson is going to run out of luck.
