Land of Childhood's Fears

       The most emotional book on the Vietnam War - a complete catharsis by the author. Includes poetry to summarize each gut-wrenching chapter. Learn what Vietnam was really fought about. Learn how the CIA smuggled drugs out of Southeast Asia, and aided and abetted the enemy to kill our own soldiers. Read gut-wrenching stories about the My Lai Massacre. The author includes a discussion with a vet who saw it all, and was trained to be a killer by the infamous “QC”. Read heart-warming stories about a love affair with a Saigon Bar Girl, a touching story about an 8 year old boy who died in the author’s arms. Read about the heart-warming Christmas Santa Claus visit on Tan Son Nhut Airbase in ‘71, and how a soldier spread the Christmas spirit to Vietnamese children by dressing up in a Santa suit in the sweltering heat. Six veterans discuss their memories - faithfully transcribed from shorthand notes. A new theory on the JFK assassination from vets who know how covert operations work, and how the CIA covers up their foul deeds with denial and misinformation. Dr. Stan Monteith of Radio Liberty and the author discuss the book at length, in several radio programs. You can download the first two-hour broadcast (July 2, 2004) and listen to the discussion. The book's title has changed from the original "Roots & Wings" after line # 12 in a poem "Reflections" which was very well received by veterans in a VA hospital, and is included in the book.

    NOTE: An entire chapter of this book - "Vet's Rap Sessions" is a book in its own right. "Vet's Rap Sessions" discusses various issues such as My Lai, Covert Operations, and a new theory on the JFK assassination which fits all the available facts, and does not violate the laws of physics like the Warren Commission's "Magic Bullet" theory. A well-known author (William Cooper) was murdered because he dared to allege this. I cover this most sensitive subject in "Vet's Rap Sessions" - which is a chapter out of "Land of Childhood's Fears".
