This is a true story of betrayal, espionage, and deceit at the highest levels of the United States government—leaving a dedicated career Naval Intelligence Officer abandoned.

While serving his country, Lieutenant Jack Daly encountered the unthinkable: a Russian spy ship attacked him with a military-grade laser weapon over U.S. waters in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The attack was swift, brutal, and clearly deliberate — an act of war against an American officer in American airspace not far from Seattle, Washington, on April 4, 1997—an act of war that the U.S. government still refuses to acknowledge.

The shot permanently damaged his eyes, leaving scars that remain decades later. Yet according to official records, the attack “never happened.”  

What followed was a Washington cover-up so complete, so coordinated, that Daly's own government abandoned him to suffer in silence. His Naval Intelligence career — built over years of faithful service — was quietly destroyed. The attack left him in unrelenting, 24/7 pain that has persisted for over 29 years. And for nearly three decades, he was forbidden from speaking the whole truth about what really happened that day and the personal hell that followed.

Until now.

After waiting for the 25-year declassification rule to apply, Daly finally breaks his silence in this explosive memoir. Blind Treason is more than a military thriller — it's a devastating exposé of how far Washington will go to bury inconvenient truths, even when it means sacrificing the officers who serve with honor.

From the moment of the attack to the machinery of the cover-up, from the personal cost of living with a classified secret to the decision to finally speak, Daly reveals every shocking detail of a story that powerful people never wanted told.

Some truths refuse to stay buried. This is one of them.

For readers who devoured American Dirt, The Things They Carried, and Charlie Wilson's War — a true story more gripping than any fiction.   

Neither Brad Thor, Tom Clancy, nor Vince Flynn could invent this story.

Now, for the first time, never-before-seen evidence is revealed.
