Thirty years in preparation and replete with eight decades of documents
and images, Alice's Adventures traces the path of an ingenuous Harvard College graduate
through the Vietnam War and then to Thailand, where he and his new Thai bride
build for their family a traditional teak house in the countryside. Along
the way unexpected events in the United States bring them "the most dangerous man in America" seeking
shelter from an FBI manhunt, then in Thailand assassinations and
explosions, coups d'etat, midnight escapes and finally decades of litigation
in foreign courts. Filled with deeply moving situations of human ties in the
midst of medical and legal crises simultaneously with our ingenu's professional work in
US national security right up to the highest level, this opus is rich with
insights and new knowledge for those active in psychiatric medicine, in
law and in the foreign relations of the United States. And for any reader it's
a well told tale of an amazing life stranger than fiction.
