Red Rover
By Deirdre McNamerRed Rover tells the story of three Montana men who get swept up in the machinations of World War II and its fateful aftermath. As boys, Aidan and Neil Tierney ride horseback for miles across unfenced prairie, picturing themselves as gauchos, horsemen of the Argentine pampas. In a mining city in another part of the state, Roland Taliaferro wants only to escape the violence and poverty of his life. As war approaches, Aidan and Roland become friends and join the FBI. Roland serves Stateside while Aidan - in a gesture as exuberant as that of a child in a game of Red Rover - requests hazardous duty and is sent as an undercover agent to Nazi-ridden Argentina. His brother, Neil, becomes a B-29 bomber pilot.Aidan returns to Montana ill, shaken, and divided from Roland over the FBI's role in the war. On a cold December day in 1946, he is found fatally shot, an apparent suicide. The FBI stays silent. Only when Neil Tierney and Roland Taliaferro are very old men does Aidan's death become illuminated, amplified, and fully put to rest.
