Underground Railroad

Many times in history, individuals dedicated to freedom have risked everything to help those fleeing unjust persecution. In the United States in the 1800s, the term Underground Railroad was coined to describe the network of citizens who helped slaves in the South find freedom in the North and in Canada. Though slavery has been abolished, there are still injustices, cases in which the law of the land conflicts with the God-given rights of American citizens. And fortunately there are still those who will stand up and help those fugitives find safety and freedom in another place. Jefferson Mack (Safe House, Running a Ring of Spies) believes that, given a chance, many Americans are willing to take that stand, and it is for them that he has written this blueprint for justice. Here you will learn how to organize an underground railroad, spread the word through the grapevine, find and maintain safe houses, build networks of like-minded friends and establish the all-important security features, including how to assess a potential "passenger's" suitability and spot ringers.

While working in Latin America and Southeast Asia for 20 years with one of the many different intelligence agencies of the United States, Jefferson Mack learned that governments are often the cause of humanity's problems but never the solution. He and the lady love of his life now live in their own safe house somewhere in the Northwest where they hunt, fish and live off the land while enjoying a world of computers, satellite TV, old pickups, chain saws and weapons ranging from bows and arrows and muzzle loaders to high-powered rifles with scopes designed for sniping.
