James William Lair
- ... that James William Lair recruited Vang Pao, and they founded a covert 30,000 man guerrilla army?
- Reviewed: Iron Foot Jack
- Comment: A natural nomination for Veterans Day/Armistice Day, November 11th. Plenty long enough, fully cited. Lair reminds me so much of Lawrence of Arabia—except Lair's espionage career lasted a lot longer and raised a larger guerrilla force. Then too, Lair trained Thai policemen into Special Forces. And he began the Secret War in Laos. And so much more.
