      Summary: "The narrator, a communist double agent, is a 'man of two minds', a half-French, half-Vietnamese army captain who arranges to come to America after the fall of Saigon, and while building a new life with other Vietnamese refugees in Los Angeles is secretly reporting back to his communist superiors in Vietnam. The sympathizer is a blistering exploration of identity and America, a gripping espionage novel, and a powerful story of love and friendship"--Page 4 of cover.
