In Ghepardo Finds Work, Tony Ghepardo begins his career as a Reagan-era spook.In 1981, at the age of twenty-six, Ghepardo finally completes his degree in electrical engineering. And in a difficult job market, he gratefully accepts work with a military contracting company, expecting routine work as an engineer on a design project. Instead, he's sent into field service-torpedoing his chances of ever being hired as an engineer.His first job finds him at a military operating location in support of his company's system on the U-2 spy plane. Then, several job changes have him taking on technical work and becoming the victim of dirty company politics.Along the way, he discusses such topics as UFOs and Project Blue Book, new technology, macroeconomics, and US-Russian relations during the 1980s that eerily foreshadow events in the early twenty-first century.What this insider's look at the Cold War makes abundantly clear is that US black ops are nothing like their portrayal in the movies. By shining a light into dark corners of military operations, Ghepardo Finds Work will open your eyes to the way the United States exerts its influence in the world from behind a veil of secrecy.
