View author's profile page

Overview

This is the spellbinding true story of Tom Caldwell, a retired Navy Lieutenant Commander, a disabled veteran, an innocent man caught in the crosshairs of those operating above the law following "January sixth". Now for the first time he is able to share the modern-day nightmare story he and his wife suffered through for four long years. Tom never went inside the Capitol, never committed violence, but simply attended the January six rally to hear President Trump and happily take selfies. He did so with his wife by his side! 2 weeks later an FBI SWAT team assaulted their farm and put him in prison solitary confinement on phony charges, accusing him of master-minding the overthrow of the government he spent a lifetime to defend. He and his wife Sharon were doxed, demonized and nearly lost their family farm as they fought the full force of a corrupt and weaponized Department of Justice. They endured prosecution in a 10-week trial where the Government falsified evidence, tampered with his witnesses and brought out FBI agents who lied under oath! Time and again, with only their Christian Faith to guide them, the Caldwells fought and WON against an unjust Federal system committed to silencing him and ultimately destroying him for his beliefs and its own twisted aims.

Description

This is the true story of Tom Caldwell, a retired Navy officer living with his wife Sharon in the tranquility of their generational Virginia farm. Suddenly their lives are shattered in a pre-dawn SWAT raid by armor-clad FBI agents charged with orders for a violent apprehension. Thus begins the true story of Tom's false arrest by the FBI amid a government terror campaign unleashed following the January 6 protest at the Nation's Capitol. This disabled veteran's reality becomes solitary confinement and abuse in an icy dungeon. He fights for his sanity and his life in a hellish prison where the walls themselves hide demonic secrets. With the help of an unassuming and dedicated defense lawyer, Tom and Sharon face a politically driven legal system determined to take all they have and crush all they have known. Their marital bond and their enduring faith in God are all that can sustain them in a battle against overwhelming odds and evil intent. In a federal courtroom where neither the Holy Bible nor honesty have a place, this relatable sexagenarian must overcome a secret tribunal where slander, perjury, and falsification of evidence expose an intricate government conspiracy. For Tom, recalling a Biblical passage, the mouths of the wicked had spoken against him with words of hatred and lying tongues. Through years of persecution for a crime he never committed, Tom is repeatedly pulled from the brink of a nightmare prison sentence by a series of unprecedented and miraculous events. He and his wife remain unbowed despite repeated setbacks, buoyed by hope, faith, and a wellspring of unexpected humanitarian support. Nothing could have prepared the couple for this immersive American horror story. How can Tom and Sharon avoid a death blow to their dreams of freedom and to their unshakable love story in what they once revered as the Land of Liberty?

About The Author

Thomas E. Caldwell is an author, humorist, artist, conservationist, farmer, aspiring screenwriter, former radio broadcast personality and a proud veteran of the United States Navy. A decorated retired Navy Lieutenant Commander, he honorably served our Nation around the world for nearly two decades, principally within the Navy's Intelligence Community. He is the author of countless strategic and tactical intelligence assessments and possesses a deep understanding and unique perspective of global and domestic threats to our Nation. Born into humble circumstances in Washington, DC, Tom and his close-knit family moved to Virginia, where he adapted quickly to life on the farm and became an accomplished marksman and horseman. A child of the 1960s, this patriotic Boy Scout developed a love for the good earth and the rich history of his country and his adopted state. After a successful military career, Tom and his wife Sharon launched and operated a successful software systems development company serving multiple federal government agencies, including the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, U.S. Army Personnel Command, the United States Coast Guard and the Department of Justice. It was here that he was exposed to the machinery of the federal bureaucracy and observed questionable practices and motivations from an insider's point of view. Tom first flexed his creative writing muscles by bringing to life the characters and events of his experiences around the world in screenplay and short story form. His home-spun writing style and mastery of imagery bring this first-person adventure narrative, his initial book offering, into gritty, near-cinematic focus. A devout Christian, Tom and his wife Sharon live on the small family farm of his youth in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. On this hallowed and historic ground, they peacefully and responsibly nurture native plant and animal species while enjoying a quiet country lifestyle.
