War Tales
True Stories of Friend & Foe of the Vietnam Era
WAR TALES explodes with ten true stories of Friend & Foe told by one of the Vietnam War’s most notable journalists. We move from Sean Flynn, the photographer son of Errol Flynn, and his confessional interview to a report on the highly suspicious death of former CIA Director William Colby.
Malaga Burning
An American Woman’s Eyewitness Account of the Spanish Civil War
This is a dramatic eyewitness account of the Spanish Civil War by an American woman -- distinguished not for its “facts” but for an emotional truth found at a much deeper level. Appeals to both male and female readers.
“What distinguishes Woolsey’s account is her profound empathy for others, as well as her keen poet’s eye…”

Facing the Phoenix
The CIA and the Political Defeat of the United States in Vietnam
