This is about how an unplanned encounter by the author evolved into a worthy story ...a life story about how a young Walter Rothwell, born in the US, grew up in Switzerland and became fluent in four languages by the time he was ...drafted in the US Army during World War II. Being drafted the same month that the war ended might seem fortuitous, but because of his shrewd language abilities, it enticed him into a world of strategic intelligence ...and ultimately Cold War espionage. He became a spy.He earned rank as well as prestige as the go-to person for unearthing worthy information ...from gumshoe to classroom expert ...from authority of on-the-street mole tactics to eventually delivering the necessary backup for momentous Cold War decisions in 1952. Rothwell delivered consequence ...oh so inconspicuously.[Special update: Walter Rothwell passed away the morning of January 21, 2016 ... peacefully while reading his favorite books]

From the Author In 2013, I took photos of Wally Rothwell ... pictures that I incorporated into our community newsletter called Javalina.Line along with a short story about his thirty years living here and specifically in celebration of his 90th birthday. This lead to my questions about what he had done in his life, and we chatted about some mutual activities in Vietnam. I gave him my book, Just Dust - An Improbable Marine's Vietnam Story, to read. Every time we met at the mailbox, we'd exchange questions. These chats got deeper and deeper, and his reminiscing more captivating and poignant. Paragraphs turned into chapters, and in the course of a year, into the book titled Inconspicuous - Walter Rothwell's Undercover Journey During the Cold War.
From the Back Cover My first work, Just Dust - An Improbable Marine's Vietnam Story is my personal heartfelt journey during an audacious period of US history ... about seing war and trekking many "roads less traveled" than most other young military men ever do.More recently, I innocently befriended a neighbor, Walter Rothwell. Unknowingly, Our encounters turned into hours of chatting with Wally about his own journey. I had no idea I lived near a spy ... not just a spy of consequence but one with a story worth telling!So, I present to you Wally's journey ... Inconspicuous. Wes Choc, Author

An individual raised during WWII in Europe and starting his trade at the beginning of the Cold War. This account is about an agent in the shadows but yet with a private family. From West Germany in the late 1940's to Vietnam in the early 1960's, an account of learning the trade of an Intelligence officer and retiring to America to live out his life. Uniquely different!Sadly one of the last of his generation.
