When the Guardians Dance

About the Book

This narrative chronicles the life of William Jonathan Barry, Vietnam War hero and POW, US Congressman, truck driver and manual laborer… and a high priest of a mysterious Central Asian brotherhood. The details of Mr. Barry’s remarkable life are developed in the context of his residences in the US, Central Asia, Korea and Thailand, thus providing valuable insights into many of the social, economic, and political developments of the times. The most significant aspect of this narrative, however, concerns the gifts of the Brotherhood to Mr. Barry and to the world … gifts of life, living and love.
