Inhaltsangabe

From Appalachia to California, from Mexico to the jungles of Vietnam to Central America and Europe, from frozen Minnesota to the Atlanta Olympics and steamy Puerto Rico, this is a remarkable story of a man who led many lives - bullfighter, Trappist monk, U.S. Army counterintelligence agent, CIA operative, FBI Agent and finally...Episcopal priest. The author tells of close encounters with bulls, Viet Cong, spies and thugs, bank robbers, famous officials and movie stars, and just-in-the-nick escapes from Mexico and Central America. He also tells a more personal story of broken trusts and abandonment... a story of a secret adoption and the author's relentless search to find the truth and a biological family. The author mustered all of his investigative skills and instincts to finally discover his biological roots. It was, however, ultimately his faith and hope that sustained him in the search for himself, and his one true father, God. A successful high-level government careerist, Perry wrote this memoir to inspire others to risk a life of service. In a time of national self-doubt and cynicism, this book offers an optimistic and inspired view of serving God and others, especially the nation.
