20. One of the Very Best Men.56 pages Illustrated. March 2004. $5. By Robert Sherwood Dillon. The author is a retired American Foreign Service officer. This is a memoir of his post-high school years in the period 1946 to 1956, attending college in Virginia, serving as an enlisted man in the U.S. Army, later joining the CIA and serving under non-official cover in paramilitary operations from an island off the coast of Communist China, and later on Taiwan, before joining the Foreign Service in 1956. This story has not been cleared with any federal agencies, but given the long passage of time that was not necessary. In sum, an important historical document and revealing personal account.
