My name is Robert A. Woo and I welcome you to our website, which was designed to promote my current book: Their Hidden Agenda: The Story of a Chinese-American FBI Agent, as well as to assist me in the drafting of my next book: The Legacy of Hu Zhiming and The Dragon. Both of these books concern our family experiences, beginning with my father's origins in China, the scion of a wealthy feudal warlord in pre-revolutionary China, and his arrival in America during the late 1930s just prior to America's entry into WWII. These books contain our unique and compelling story, encompassing four generations of a family, with two roots, one in China, and another in America. Ours is indeed a tale of two countries, the sole remaining superpower (The United States) and a rising superpower (China). They say that "truth is stranger than fiction" and this holds true in this case, as the reader traverses the images of the ravaged birthplace, Nanjing, of the father to his son's triumphal graduation from the US Naval Academy and subsequent betrayal by his own government years later. |

Torture, justified or not?
Is torture ever justified under any conditions? For example, if it could prevent a terrorist attack?In my limited experience, I have never undergone torture, per se, but have been subjected to interrogation under very stressful conditions by government agents, and was even accused of lying (as detailed in my book) in order to satisfy my superiors goal of getting me to incriminate myself. Nowadays, even the FBI states that torture is not justified, since in many cases, the subject of the torture will only say what the interrogator wants to hear, whether true or not.
