About this title

Synopsis

From the back cover: "The dramatic cover-up from the Vietnam War has waited more than forty years to be revealed. At least twelve US Air Force fighter planes and more than twenty highly trained pilots were blown out of the sky in the Vietnam theater by US made bombs with malfunctioning "short" fuses. Everybody knew about it, from the other fighter pilots to the Vietnam generals and higher military echelon, and surely all the way to President Lyndon B. Johnson... ...Life on a Short Fuse names names, calls a spade a spade, and provides unvarnished answers to hard questions about this military travesty. 'You can call it 'friendly fire' or a 'cover-up' but its real name is 'hiding the truth.' And after forty years of silence, 'I'm through doing that' says Drain."
