Hog's Exit explores the mysterious death in 1982 of Jerry "Hog"
Daniels, a former CIA case officer to legendary Hmong leader
General Vang Pao during the U.S.'s "secret war" in Laos. Drawing on
first-person reminiscences of Daniels's colorful life, Morrison
also captures the drama and beauty of the Hmong spirit rituals, as
well as the lamentations and suspicions that pervade this unusual
funeral ceremony. Americans and Hmong, ranchers and refugees, State
Department officials and smokejumpers, share their memories about
Daniels: growing up; hunting and fishing in Montana; cheating death
in Laos; and carousing in the bars and brothels of Thailand. Hog's
Exit provides a fascinating view of a man and the two very
different cultures in which he lived.
