About Down in Laos

Down in Laos, Heroism and Inspiration during the Vietnam War, is an action-thriller, suspense war story about a ship, an air wing, and a pilot based on actual US Navy and Marine Corps events in the Western Pacific in early 1968--the Pueblo seizure, Operation Igloo White, Khe Sanh, Tet, and the first bombing halt. When the pilot, Lt. Campbell, USN, son of missionaries raised in Korea during that war, is shot down and becomes a POW of the brutal Pathet Lao and is obligated to attempt escape, the story takes a suspenseful turn and becomes an intriguing modern parallel to the Book of Job and explores what makes Western Civilization unique in the world.
