Back Channel: The Vietnam Betrayal

By William Bertram MacFarland

This is the second book in the Back Channel series written by William Bertram MacFarland, who describes himself as "a Patriot, a Soldier, a Spy and an Assassin." MacFarland (better known in government circles as Bertie Mac) was a Special Assistant to JFK and had his office in the West Wing of the White House. Over time, he and President Kennedy became close personal friends and he was included in the expanded family of President and Ms. Kennedy. Bertie and Vice President Johnson mutually despised each other and Bertie was shocked with disbelief when upon tendering his resignation to President Johnson after Kennedy's assassination, Johnson refused and insisted that Bertie stay on as his Special Assistant. Bertie's story rivals any James Bond or Jason Bourne for excitement and intrigue. Step behind the curtain into the White House, the Pentagon and our national intelligence services and hang on for a wild ride through Geneva, Paris, Rome, Stockholm, Sardinia, Bangkok and the secret war in Laos. Bertie is such a natural story-teller that as you read about his life, you feel as though you are listening to him reminisce as he sits across the table at a caf? in Paris sharing a bottle of wine with you.
