Curt Stocker began smoking pot in October of 1966, more than a year before he went to Vietnam. In fact, the rumor about the incredible superiority of Vietnamese pot was the only positive aspect about his pending tour. Upon being drafted in 1967, Curt enlisted for an extra year, in order to secure a position in Armed Forces Radio. The plan was to further his broadcasting career, while guaranteeing that he would never be in the infantry.

Caught in two World Wars, pre-Mutiny skirmishes, and the Great Sepoy Rebellion - the true saga of lives not so "pukkha" as might be supposed. Hugh Rose's backstory exposes child marriage, social taboos, and adulterous affairs over many summers in a Himalayan Hill Station, and illegitimate pregnancies and banishment to England. More a poet than a soldier, Hugh, a British Officer of the Raj, serves with the 3rd Queen Alexandra's Own Gurkha Rifles in the Kyber Pass bordering the North-West Frontier Afghanistan. Gentlemen's sports, bandits, tribal warlords, missionaries, ordinary men, and ghosts are not enough.

The first memoir of Jose Baeza. He reflects on his life and the successes and challenges of his wartime experiences, in the U.S. Marines. With military service ended, his stories of working as a Federal Contractor and his liaison work with the CIA, and other U.S. intelligence agencies, provide a perspective that is hard to find. It's an expositional, informative, and sometimes heart-rending read. You will be glad you read this book, and more secure in your knowledge of U.S. Government operations, both public and hidden.
