The story of one of the most effective and brutal spymasters in U.S. history & beginning of an infamous love affair with napalm.
It was long past time for Donald Nichols to go home. He had been spying in Korea for five years, rarely taking a day off, never returning stateside to see his family. His bosses in the U.S. Air Force had not seen an agent work so hard for so long. They called him a “one man war” & the “best intelligence operator” in the Far East.

This piece above is part of a book deal with Penguin Press. Wondering if Harden is a member of ANSWER and a pal of Ward Churchill.

Blaine Harden is an American author and journalist. His latest book, Murder at the Mission, dismantles a phony legend about how the Pacific Northwest became a part of the United States. The book shows how Protestant ministers worked together to falsify history, invent a fake hero, and sanctify white conquest. Their Big Lie helped justify a century of abusive treatment of Native Americans.
Harden is a longtime foreign correspondent who reported for The Washington Post from Africa, Eastern Europe, and Northeast Asia. He was also a national correspondent for the New York Times, a contributor to the Economist, and has reported for PBS FRONTLINE. He was an editorial consultant to “North Korea’s Deadly Dictator,” broadcast Oct. 4, 2017. He was the lead reporter on the 2012 FRONTLINE film, “Alaska Gold.”
Speaking of the publisher, Penguin Random House:
“...The incoming 47th president announced he is suing several media outlets, including the New York Times, CBS News, Penguin Random House, and the Daily Beast, alleging widespread bias and defamation...”
Interesting guy, a really smart rogue.
Might be a relative of mine, would check but the family genealogist died recently. So I’ll just claim him as a distant cousin.
