How did a young patriotic kid from Brooklyn, who wanted to be a Rabbi, end up as a Captain in the U.S. Air Force in 1969 at Udorn Royal Thai Air Base in Thailand, only discover that the military he respected and honored was illegally bombing villagers in Laos, discriminating against black soldiers and stacking the deck against corpsmen coming clean with the truth of their experience? Why did President Nixon later appoint this same captain to work in his administration under John Erlichman? Paging Doctor Leff: Pride, Patriotism and Protest, is the biography of an idealistic boy from New York who joined the Civil Air Patrol for God and country and never looked back. Dr. Arnie Leff, MD has fought many wars, overseas and at home. He stood up to his superiors during Viet Nam; locked horns with corporations and state bureaucracies as health commissioner of Cincinnati; worked for the White House to evaluate and create drug treatment programs across the country and overseas; jumped into the trenches at the beginning of the AIDS pandemic; and has pulled no punches with his often controversial opinions about drugs, euthanasia, health care and medical marijuana.
