In January of 1999, the arrest of Wen Ho Lee, the Los Alamos
scientist who was falsely accused under a cloud of suspicion of
espionage by the U.S. government and imprisoned without trial,
sparked controversy throughout the country. It triggered concern
for national security, debate about racial profiling and media
distortion, and outrage over a return to McCarthy-era paranoia.
Throughout the ordeal, Wen Ho Lee quietly and steadfastly
maintained his innocence. Now he tells his story.
This compelling narrative takes readers inside Los Alamos,
revealing how violations of national security were ubiquitous
throughout the weapons lab. Dr. Lee describes how the FBI
infiltrated his private life -- spying on him for nearly two
decades. He relates his own anti-Communist stance, the results of
tragic events from his past, and explains how he even assisted the
FBI, protecting nuclear secrets. He details his brutal treatment in
jail, and how such treatment, without factual justification, is
protected under U.S. law. Finally Dr. Lee explains why he
downloaded codes, demonstrating once and for all that he was
innocent of every charge leveled against him except for one simple
procedure common throughout the lab. A riveting story about
prejudice, fear, suspicion -- and courage -- My Country Versus Me
offers at last a clear and truthful account of one of the great
miscarriages of justice of our time.
