A foreign service officer arrives at the US Embassy in East Timor; this country’s fledgling democratic government requires all the support it can get. On the Fourth of July, the local East Timorese rebels take to the streets in an effort to take back their country. As the violence draws near the presidential palace, the East Timor president is transferred to the US Embassy for protection. It is not long before the rebels have seized the Timorese government’s artillery and are relentlessly closing in on the Embassy. The rebel leader claims he will end the fighting and leave the embassy in peace if the embassy hands their president over to the rebels. America’s allied troops in the region are not in close proximity to the eruption of violence, in fact help is at least 8 hours away from the US Embassy. A small group of marines and foreign service officers are left to defend the Embassy until a rescue mission can be staged. Reluctant to surrender the president to the rebels, these few marines and foreign service officers must defend the life of the president as well as the American civilians inside the walls of the embassy compound. |
