Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Charles Holdefer Dear Reader, I've been asked if I was trying to be provocative when I wrote THE CONTRACTOR. Actually, it's more the other way around: I feel I've been provoked. It's the story of George Young, a solid family man and Gulf War veteran who accepts work as a private contractor who interrogates detainees. I wrote this book as a concerned American who thinks we've taken a seriously wrong turn in our policies toward torture. A starred review in Booklist describes THE CONTRACTOR as "a compelling mix of thriller, psychodrama, and yes, political commentary." It has been selected as a "Book Sense Pick" for November by the American Booksellers Assocation. This book isn't about politicians: it's about people on ground, trying to make sense.
