Mutiny at Mahring is the story of Saint, a man just trying to do the right thing. He enlists in the Army and is assigned to Army Intelligence, where he is taught the Czech language and sent straight to a dangerous mission on the Iron Curtain.

When President Johnson issues the command to produce evidence that the Czechs are marching toward war, Saint must engineer the quietest mutiny in military history, to force the President to rescind his order, and to stop the beginning of what could become World War Three.


Come see his fascinating true story retold, and learn how one small army listening outpost stood between the two great world superpowers, chaos and destruction.
