Early in his career, he was a distinguished covert operations officer with the CIA. At the height of the Vietnamese War and China’s Cultural Revolution, he served in Hong Kong, running clandestine operations into China and North Viet Nam. His experience there provided the kindling for The Lushan Addiction, although its premise is totally fiction. Lushan is a well known resort where in 1970, the Chinese Politburo held a secret plenum to discuss the future role of the Communist Party and possible rapprochement with America. Lin Biao, head of the People’s Liberation Army and Mao Tse Tung’s heir apparent, opposed Mao’s policy. Shortly thereafter, Lin sought to oust Mao as Part Chariman. When his coup aborted, Lin and his family tried to escape by private jet to the Soviet Union. The plane inexplicably crashed over Mongolia and all aboard perished. Mr. Shulman obtained this historic information from a source in China and reported it to our government years before it was publicly known. After leaving the Agency, Mr. Shulman became a prominent trial attorney and co-authored a leading legal work on Georgia Civil Procedure. He later was a candidate for Mayor of Atlanta, running a spirited race before succumbing to Ambassador Andrew Young. Mr. Shulman now practices law and serves as a Mediator on a part time basis in Atlanta, Georgia. view less
