    About this audiobook

    Robert Egan could have been a roofing contractor, like his father. Instead, he opened a barbecue restaurant. His interest in the search for Vietnam-era POWs led to an introduction to North Korean officials desperate to improve relations with the United States. So Egan turned his restaurant into Camp David, with pork ribs.#160;#160;During tumultuous years that saw the death of Kim Il Sung, the rise of Kim Jong Il, the Bush #8220;Axis of Evil,#8221; and North Korea#8217;s successful test of a nuclear weapon, Egan advised North Korea#8217;s deputy ambassador to the United Nations, informed for the FBI, vexed the White House, and nearly rescued a captured U.S. Navy vessel. Based on true events, this fast-paced tale shows how far one citizen can go in working for peace.
