"This is a personal story of the drama and events that occurred while the author worked in the U.S. Foreign Service during the mid nineteen sixties. The war in Indo China (""Vietnam"") was just starting to escalate. Just north across the border from Vietnam is another Indo China country - Laos. It was in that country that the CIA operated their silent war. The capital city of Laos is Vientiane. This is where the author worked as a young Marine Embassy Security Guard. Within the next two years, he would be forced to face two death contracts and a Military Court Martial. The situation became so intense that the then president of the United States, Lyndon Johnson, had to personally intervene. This is a story that had to be told. It is a story that could only be written by the person it had happened to!."
