Bart Hastings was born into a military family; his Army colonel father has devoted his life to defending his country and Bart's brother lost his life while fighting in a war that Bart is no longer sure he supports.

No Easy Answers is a fast-paced tale of espionage and murder set in the tumultuous and divisive years of the Vietnam War.
Reviews of NO EASY ANSWERS
Ed Gorman's Blog
No Easy Answers is another first-rate early Carolyn Hart novel from the fine folks at the Oconee Spirit Press.
For my generation there was no more bitter a historical time than the years of the Viet Nam war after 1965. For the majority of people you were for or against. There were excesses on both sides. The anti-war people burned the ROTC building in Iowa City while I lived there. The Chicago cops turned demonstrations into blood baths. If you were anti you were a Commie and if you were pro you were a war monger. Vice President Agnew, in between taking bribes in the VP's office, decreed that some protestors should be deported.
Carolyn Hart did the impossible, wrote a riveting domestic espionage novel set in America during these angry years--and let both sides have their say. Read the full review

Carolyn Hart doesn't provide answers. She offers opinions on both sides in this riveting story of suspense and espionage. And, Bart Hastings comes to realize there really were No Easy Answers to the conflict the country was going through. But, it took good men to try to help the U.S. get through it, just as it was going to take a determined young man to find answers that would keep his father out of prison. Read the full review
