I published this book because of the historic and societal importance of the life of Leutrell (Mike) Osborne. He worked in the CIA for 26 years and rose to the position of Case Manager despite the discriminatory influence of many in it's leadership. His meeting with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the reception of King's Nobel Peace Prize award was not just historic but starkly revealing as to the way King was monitored by the US government. He was there as future President George H W Bush ran the agency and then left taking many of the best and most important of the CIA's employees with him. There's much more but you'll have to read it to know.

After my second reading I was even more convinced of the historical importance of this book, especially in the light of the Trump presidency.
