STORMBRINGER presents the story of Jim Thompson, Thailand's most famous farang and one of America's many unknown Secret Warriors.
Recruited by Brigadier General William Joseph Donovan, Jim Thompson served during World War II in the Office of Strategic Services. A fluent French speaker, Thompson participated in missions behind enemy lines in German-occupied France.
At the end of World War II Thompson took charge of the Bangkok office of the OSS, and remained in Thailand for the rest of his life. Although he officially abandoned intelligence activities in 1947, many have suspected he was still a non-official cover. During the Vietnam War, his closest friend, General Edwin Black, was in charge of United States Air Force Special Operations activities over Laos and Thailand.
In 1967 Jim Thompson disappeared under extremely mysterious circumstances in the Cameron Highlands region of Malaysia.
