Another blast from the past. This article, which appeared in the prestigious and sophisticated men’s magazine Penthouse a few years back is basically a postscript to THE EAGLE MUTINY (Naval Institute Press 2001), the non-fiction book I wrote with Roberto Loiederman about an incredible true-life mutiny on an American ship during the Vietnam War, and its tragic aftermath. “A tale worthy of Conrad,” wrote TD Allman about the book.
It was recently optioned for a feature film by Academy Award-winning screenwriter/producer William Monahan (The Departed).
The SS Columbia Eagle may set sail again…

Are you available for an interview for my podcast? Please confirm by email if this site is still operational. Thank you.
Still operational. What’s your podcast about?
It’s about Haing Ngor and using “the Killing Fields” as a point of reference to discuss a number of lingering Cambodia issues. The episodes I’m working on now are about how dangerous it was to be a journalist in the 1970s, which parallels the recent work of journalists in Syria. And I’m going into the Flynn/Stone disappearance, and Tim Page’s efforts to resolve their fates. That, of course, involves the Columbia Eagle mutineers.
So – it’d be nothing too long. But it would be helpful to hear your perspective.
