365 Days To Go

This Father’s Day I’m thinking of the greatest way I can honor my father, a man I barely knew when he was killed in Vietnam in 1965. My investigative memoir, Because: A CIA Coverup and a Son’s Odyssey to Find the Father He Never Knew, will be released on Father’s Day 2025, 365 days from now by Milspeak Books. Over 33 years of field and archival research across two continents went into the making of this true story of a warrior turned humanitarian who faced resistance and harm throughout his career for doing what he felt was right.
