Summary

This book includes the true story of one man, caught up in the secret war in Cambodia, Laos, and North Vietnam and even into Southern China. The fighting was hard, with no quarter given by either side, men died without anyone knowing their true names, just code names.
It describes in detail how the Central Intelligent Agency (CIA) paid for this secret war, without receiving money approbated from our US Congress. Drugs were a way to the end, as time went on the CIA became the largest drug dealers in the world. Shipment of Herion to the United States was on weekly basis with their own private Airlines called Air America, Continental Air, Bird and Son airline, Arizona helicopters and many more small airlines owned by the CIA, nick name for these airlines was called Opium Air by the men that saw what was happening.
The CIA went so far as to ship drugs to South Vietnam to be sold to our own troops on the ground. It is documented  there were on the average two deaths from overdosing of drugs by our military per day. There were untold numbers that died in combat for being high on the CIA supplied drugs and untold numbers that died when they came home.
This book details the story of some of the greatest fighters and pilots in the world gathered in these small countries. The CIAs had their own mercenary army made up of Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, English, French,  South Koreans, Hmong and Cambodians . Unlike the war being fought in South Vietnam where there were rules of engagement, in this secret war there were no rules anything went whether it be the use of poison gas, biological weapons or the paying of bountys for body parts of the enemy whether it was men, women or even children.
There were total disregard for the Geneva Convention which the US was a signature to. Everyone there was using expanding bullets in their weapons.
Our own CIA were above reproach, no one would challenge them, they were much worse than the enemy we were fighting. The death and destruction still remain in Laos. With unexploded bombs and vast mine fields, that were never mapped and recorded. The sad thing, I was part of what happened and like all of the others, never spoke up.

    At twenty-three, Andrew Forsthoefel headed out the back door of his home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, with a backpack, an audio recorder, his copies of Whitman and Rilke, and a sign that read "Walking to Listen." He had just graduated from Middlebury College and was ready to begin his adult life, but he didn't know how. So he decided to take a cross-country quest for guidance, one where everyone he met would be his guide. 
    In the year that followed, he faced an Appalachian winter and a Mojave summer. He met beasts inside: fear, loneliness, doubt. But he also encountered incredible kindness from strangers. Thousands shared their stories with him, sometimes confiding their prejudices, too. Often he didn't know how to respond. How to find unity in diversity? How to stay connected, even as fear works to tear us apart? He listened for answers to these questions, and to the existential questions every human must face, and began to find that the answer might be in listening itself. 
    Ultimately, it's the stories of others living all along the roads of America that carry this journey and sing out in a hopeful, heartfelt book about how a life is made, and how our nation defines itself on the most human level.

    At twenty-six years old, Brandon Baltzley was poised for his star turn as the opening chef at Chicago's hotspot Tribute. People called him a prodigy-the Salvador Dali of cooking-and foodie blogs followed his every move. Instead, Brandon walked away from it all and entered rehab to deal with the alcohol and cocaine addiction that had enslaved him most of his adult life.Brandon grew up in the South with no father and an addict mother. At nine, he was prepping vegetables in the back of a gay bar. From there, he went on to deep-frying with Paula Deen to cooking in an array of Michelin-starred restaurants, including Grant Achatz's world-renowned Alinea. In between, he was touring the country with his heavy metal band, Kylesa-and doing his first stint in rehab.Like Gabrielle Hamilton's Blood, Butter and Bones, Brandon's Nine Lives is about blazing a way out from a rough childhood through talent and an unbridled passion for the craft of cooking. A story that's still being written as Brandon works with Crux, the pop-up culinary collective he founded, and plans for the opening of his own restaurant, Nine Lives serves up a raw and riveting memoir about food, rock-and-roll, and redemption.
