He is one part Twain's Huck Finn bristling with rebellion against incompetence and corruption gone amuck that has sent his generation to Vietnam and a new generation to Iraq to die for lost causes. Wilson is also part Heningway's Jake Barnes, the veteran seeking a separate peace not in Paris' left bank but in Bohemia. Wilson is also one part Ernest Haycox's Mark Sheridan; the pioneer determined to build with his sweat a business in the heat of old Europe despite all the odds stacked against him.
