Our Book: |
| New Page 1 From offices fronting for the Central Intelligence Agency in Washington, D.C. to the jungles, mountains and plains of Southeast Asia, the author draws the reader into the "Secret War" of the Sixties in Laos. While the action centers around the maneuverings by Air America in support of the Laotian anti-communist forces against the Pathet Lao and, at that time, the North Vietnamese threat, the author explores the various locales, from Bangkok to Vientiane, from Saigon to Taiwan, and from Japan to Korea that form the background for the "Secret War." If you saw a recent movie that depicted Air America operations, now read a novelized account from someone who was really there, in the air and on the ground. Reviews: "I thought the book was great and from 'an early insider' point of view it was EXCELLENT!"
"It brought back many memories, some good and some sad, of the GOOD OLD DAYS "!!
"I enjoyed guessing the real names of some of the folks."
"That book made my day!"
"Your book was a fun read."
"I have read the book and enjoyed it. From Taipei and the Literary Inn through Vientiane and the Constellation it brought back a flood of memories. Those certainly were the days."
"You have done for all those who served in Air America something so personal and memorable....it will be one of the most significant things you have done in your life."
"I totally enjoyed this book, and once I started it I could not put it down. Thank you for giving some insight of what really went on with Air America in S.E. Asia in the sixties. It was trully for me the best book I've ever read."
