Vince Font: American Sons: The Untold Story of the Falcon and the Snowman
A beautifully written thriller, an endearing love story, a compelling narrative of survival and redemption... full of new details, probing personal revelations, and twists and turns that keep you flipping pages as fast as you can." - Robert Lindsey, author of The Falcon and the Snowman

"A compelling, immersive memoir of crime, punishment, and the redemptive qualities of love and atonement." - Kirkus Reviews

The gripping sequel to The Falcon and the Snowman that chronicles the subsequent events in the lives of convicted American spies Christopher Boyce and Andrew Daulton Lee.

In 1977, Christopher Boyce and Andrew Daulton Lee were convicted of selling U.S. secrets to the Soviet Union. Boyce was sentenced to 40 years imprisonment. Lee received a life sentence. The story of their crime, as told in the book and movie The Falcon and the Snowman, was only the beginning of their ordeal.

American Sons: The Untold Story of the Falcon and the Snowman picks up where The Falcon and the Snowman left off, chronicling Boyce's daring 1980 prison escape and recapture, and telling the true story of how two of America's youngest convicted spies survived decades in prison.

Written by Christopher Boyce, Cait Boyce and Vince Font, American Sons: The Untold Story of the Falcon and the Snowman gives readers a deeply intimate look at the struggles of two men whose actions cost them decades in prison - and how the efforts of a young, idealistic paralegal helped them become free men.

An inspiring true story of survival and redemption in the face of insurmountable odds.

Black Americans hoped Barack Obama would lead them to the “Promised Land,” and white Americans hoped he would reconcile the races, but by failing to understand his country or himself, Obama pulled the nation apart.

In his introduction to the world at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, then state senator Barack Obama insisted, “There is not a liberal America and a conservative America—there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America—there’s the United States of America.” But as his latest memoir, A Promised Land, makes clear, Obama inhabits a smug, elite liberal America in which conservatives are not welcome. Indeed, from Obama’s perspective, their every thought, gesture, and vote is insincere and likely racist.

Although the Obama memoir is obsessed with race, Obama as president and as writer has refused to address the one problem he knew to be at the heart of America’s racial divide: the disintegration of the black family. While Obama and his peers have profited from the opportunities America offers, his lack of courage has doomed the black inner city to another generation of crime, drugs, and educational failure. To divert attention from his own failure, Obama has cast the right as the “other” in his ongoing melodrama—driving a wedge between black and white that will take generations to heal.
