Title: Feet to the fire
Description: "Drawing on declassified documents and many interviews with CIA and Indonesian participants, Kenneth Conboy and James Morrison reconstruct the delicate, dangerous game played by American intelligence agents throughout Indonesia. It is a story of ideologues and soldiers of fortune - historic CIA legends like Allen Dulles and Frank Wisner, and notorious special operators like Tony "Poe" Poshepny, whose reputation later reached mythic proportions in Laos.

Allen Pope, the indefatigable B-26 pilot who was captured and sentenced to die, also plays a role in the story, which includes transfixing exploits of Montana smokejumpers, Polish aircrews, Muslim anticommunist guerrillas, U.S. Navy submarine crews, and Filipino mercenary pilots flying P-51 Mustangs."--BOOK JACKET.
