About
"Missileman is the true account of how Wallace Clauson kept his true work hidden from his family and his neighbors for fifty years. Moving every few years, even living in Zurich, Switzerland, for a period, Clauson's life was full of anxiety and suspicion. John Clauson reveals how his father, a government agent working against the Russian during the Cold War, somehow managed to maintain a double life and keep his family safe and unaware from the dangers of his chosen life as a missileman."--Provided by publisher.
