Summary
For over sixty years, the Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-Enforcement Division, better known as S.H.I.E.L.D., has remained obscured to the general public. An organization whispered among conspiracy theorists in the same breath of Operation Gladio, the Edgewood experiments, and the Xavier School. Then aliens attacked New York, led by a Norse God, and superheroes returned. Now, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Rick Jones offers the first definitive history of the origins of S.H.I.E.L.D. He tracks the progression of a wild idea of former SSR members to one of the most formidable, wide reaching, and strangest intelligence organizations ever seen.
Based on a wealth of new documents and interviews, filled with sometimes startling insights, Rick Jones gives us a dazzling look into the mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. He provides us an extraordinary look at key events of the early Cold War, and new insights for the early twenty-first century.

Summary
The year after Jack Abbot loses his wife (car accident, Charleston, pedestrian versus drunk driver) and his leg (car bombing, Fallujah, shrapnel tearing his blood vessels to shreds) he makes some very ill-advised decisions (car sex, Bethesda, with the woman who cut off his foot).
The latter of these things could probably be explained away as some sort of trauma response, forgotten or at least worked through with the VA assigned therapist who’s calls he’s resolutely ignoring. Except, that is, for one tiny thing. One tiny mistake that turns out, in the grand scheme of things, to be rather larger than they’d ever anticipated.
“Birth control.” Emery Walsh tells him gloomily, after she’s sat down gingerly on the edge of his admittedly kind of gross second-hand sofa and handed him a piece of white plastic emblazoned with two pink lines.
“Knew we’d forgotten something.”
