Conrad's Bane

About the Book

Growning up on a farm was fun and interesting. The space race and the cold war were distant interests, but the local school and society were full of exciting adventures. Going to college in the sixties with the social revolution and the anti-war movement was exciting and stimulating. Then becoming a top secret "spook" in the war against communism brought on many new adventures, places to visit and incredible situations. Graduate School and returning to civilian life was strained but gave many hopes of a brave, new future.
