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.
