CODE NAME: WILLIAM TELL

by Don Wilson

Code Name: William Tell is an adventure story that starts with an idea by the president of the United States, from which a hero emerges. A story of good's triumph over evil, as told by a famous historian who himself is a retired army lieutenant colonel. The story traces the life of our hero from boyhood to manhood and then to a leader of men fighting a secret cold war. Our villain is known to the free world's intelligence community only by the code name KRAIT, a deadly viper.

One day, near the end of an unsuccessful term, a president in the solitude of the Oval Office found time to think of some way to make amends for his failures. He gave his imagination free rein. Soon an idea began to grow into a solution to a serious problem: a solution which would become the closest-held secret since the atomic bomb. From this secret would come a remarkable man, code name William Tell.

About the author

Raised in a military family Donald Wilson, a high school graduate in 1949, enlisted in the United States Army. As a boy he experienced strict discipline and was very aware of his boundaries and comfortable with them. Therefore, from basic training on, his positive attitude opened doors for him. After parachute training he was assigned to the famous 82nd Airborne Division and rose to the rank of Sergeant ahead of his contemporaries. At the beginning of the Korean War, having passed the Officer Candidate test, he applied for OCS and was commissioned Second Lieutenant Colonel. A veteran of Korean War and Vietnam War, he had served with men of honor and integrity. This experience forged his point of view on service to his country and life in general. His entry back to civilian life was a shock, characterized by the worship of dollar and moral decay. In the business world he found greed, materialism and evil to be prominent. Finally, decided to write a book which he entitled, "The Antibiotic an Ailing America Needs." It is not a sugar-coated pill.
