Synopsis

Riots, arson, assault, kidnap, an American Embassy under siege: they're all part of the experiences of an undercover operative in the service of the U.S. Government overseas. And if that's not enough, throw in a fanatical Doomsday cult and the Japanese Mafia.

From Japan to Spain, Brazil to Bolivia and back...then on to China, Taiwan, Korea, and back to Japan again. Adventures, observations, confrontations and experiences in a series of assignments extending over three decades.

Based on a true story, this fictionalized memoir traces the overseas career of a U.S. Government operative working for an unnamed clandestine agency during the Cold War and its aftermath.

Loose Cannon is unusual in that it deals with fronts in the Cold War (Latin America, Asia) that are often ignored in favor of Europe. A highly entertaining book that will add to your understanding of America and the world during a critical period in history.

Loose Cannon is also available in a Kindle edition.
