- "In 1961 President John F. Kennedy contemplates military intervention in Laos. Aware that military confrontation could escalate into nuclear war, Kennedy elects to fight a covert war using CIA surrogate assets. The intelligence agency chooses as its surrogates for the war Meo tribesmen and college-age US Forest Service firefighters, smokejumpers without military experience. Based on battles and events recalled by surviving smokejumpers, Kickers involves readers in a thirteen-year secret war most Americans don't know was fought."
