Officer and airmen all served for a minimum of thirteen months. They tell of the routines they endured, how they broke the monotony to keep their sanity (in some cases) and how they passed their time without seeing their loved ones. They also tell of some of the near misses they witnessed and their contact with the soviet enemy of the time at some strange locations. This is not another military book about radar and the heroes who served, rather it is a book of short stories by the personnel, the unsung heroes who quietly served to keep the peace.

Steve Weatherly, Radar and Communications Officer, 689th Radar Squadron, Mt Hebo Air Force Station, Oregon: "The Peacekeepers is not a radar textbook, but rather the story of Air Force people that committed themselves successfully to the air defense of the nation for well over three decades as members of ADC. We can be pleased with the result. There was no attack against the United States"

He wasn't always although he did some writing in school, some in the Army and more in the Air Force. Most of that, Reports of Investigations of criminal and counter-espionage cases he ran as a Special Agent of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. Thus the name of this site, RETAFSA (Retired Air Force Special Agent). After retiring from the USAF he worked as an Investigator for the Clark County District Attorney's Office, mostly on undercover police stings. Then he worked for eleven years for the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, a law enforcement agency. There he became an expert in casino cheating and cheating detection and testified as such in state and federal courts. He did some security consulting for four years until the attack on the World Trade Center in New York in 2001. At that time he started writing historical fiction novels about some of his experiences.
