Flight Test Engineer Turns Real-Life Experience Into New Novel

Historical Fiction Set Against Invasion Of Kuwait In 1990

In order to succeed in his invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990, Saddam Hussein needed weapons. Weapons lead to questions: who supplied them? Were multiple countries involved in getting weapons to Iraq? And to what extent was the U.S. government involved?

Joseph Flint is a flight test engineer,who found he was unknowingly developing gunships that would be supplied to Saddam Hussein. This U.S. government-sanctioned research led to murder, and a global conspiracy that remains obscured.
 
Flint has decided to turn his experience with these events into a new historical fiction novel, "Rescue from Innocence." The story details relationships between the U.S., Great Britain, South America, Indonesia and Iraq via the research of helicopter weaponry. This connection has affected our politics and human relationships with the Middle East and South America to this day, according to Flint.
 
“My book was considered too controversial when I first wrote it 20 years ago,” says Flint. “Perhaps today it will provoke a more thoughtful approach to how we oversee our foreign assistance. U.S. citizens need to realize not only the consequences of their government’s actions, but the effect their own conduct can have on global events as well.”
