after being abandoned by their American ally. This is a gripping,
personal story from a new perspective. A must-read for fans of
military aviation during the Vietnam War era." Larry Sanborn -

the Secret War for Laos shadows the struggle of the Lao-Hmong
people, who chose to ally with the Americans in their Secret War,
suffered the brutality of combat for over a decade, and then
endured the ultimate betrayal of the American government. "One of
the most comprehensive and fascinating books ever written about
America's most covert war. It embodies the desperate fight for
freedom these Americans and Hmong faced together, bound as eternal

This book is about the unseen Shadow War that occurred between 1968
and 1976. It was written to honor those who served our country and
didn't come back. They may have been ignored or denied by the
"Powers That Be," but they will live in my heart and my nightmares
as long as I live. The profits from the sale of this book will go
to help homeless veterans. Reading this book will open a new world
for you -- The world of Special Intelligence Operations. From Viet
Nam to Cambodia to Laos and North Viet Nam the action will show you
why so many veterans from the Viet Nam War have PTSD. The potential
for recurring nightmares will be apparent. Next you will take a
trip from Libya to Spain to Italy and Romania. You will find out
that the war against terror did not start in 2001. The following
exert will demonstrate what Inside the World of Mirrors is all
about. In 1974, I met and was briefed by a "Mr. Martin," a high
level individual from the American Embassy in Rome, Italy, on an
operation to insure that a particular individual would not continue
funding communist political activities in Italy. He was a bag man
for the KGB. It was less than two months until a very important
election was to take place. He was spreading money around to help
the communist political candidates get elected. I was simply told
"Make Him Stop" They gave me carte blanche to get it done. Anytime
in the next seven days would be just fine. This was only one of the
83 missions ran by a Special Intelligence Operative code named the
Iceman
The Adventures of Space and Hobo tells the story of Ken's vagabond
life after Vietnam. It explores the on-the-ground confusion and
chaos of the Vietnam War and its effects on a generation, and those
who served. Named Space by a new friend, Hobo, Ken and his
traveling companion hit the road to partake of all the
possibilities of that generation in search of adventure and
uncharted experiences. They did this by allowing fate to be their
guide while navigating through the spiritual maze of the 1970's as
they traveled by freight trains and hitchhiked through our nation's
cities. By using their wits and street knowledge they were able to
take advantage of the opportunities that came their way. As a
couple of hippies travelling through our nation's cities as
vagabonds or rolling stones they were looking for the next free
ride to nowhere in particular while mooching off of whatever
resources or people who happened to come their way. Ken writes in
such a way that you are with him at every turn of this amazing
journey. Because Ken writes from the perspective of the redeemed,
this journey is rich with God's fingerprints at every step of the
way. And at a deeper level, while the particulars are Ken's unique
story, the journey he describes is one that each of us either has,
or must, travel.
