Because: A CIA Coverup & A Son's Odyssey To Find The Father He Never Knew - Hardcover

by James B. Wells (Author)

James B. Wells was only nine when his father, Jack, an Army veteran working for USAID as a senior public safety officer in 1965, died in an Air America plane crash in Vietnam.

Decades later, James discovers hundreds of letters in his mother's home and embarks on a thirty-three-year odyssey to uncover the truth and meaning behind his whistleblower father's covered-up and still CIA-classified death.

Through archival and field research across two continents and a meticulous reconstruction of his father's life-from Jack's love for God, family, country, duty, and truth to the circumstances of a coverup-a son finally connects with the father he barely knew and seeks peace with what he learns and what he may never know.
