A Recent Recipient Of The 2024 eBookFairs Book Award And 2024 Literary Global Independent Author Award, “From Healing To Hell: 3rd Edition” (Published By Archway Publishing) Is Set For A New Press Campaign This Year. This Compelling Memoir Chronicles The True Story Of W.H. Wall, Sr., A Physician, Public Servant And Devoted Father, Whose Life Spiraled Into Tragedy Due To An Addiction He Never Chose And His Unwitting Involvement In The CIA’s Illegal Activity.
In an effort to clear his father’s name after 50 years of silent grief, William Henry Wall, Jr. delves into the story of how his father — once a well-respected figure in Southwest Georgia — became a victim of the U.S. government’s notorious MK Ultra program. “My father, W.H. Wall, Sr. M.D., was a victim of illegal CIA drug experiments,” the author states. “He was a patient in a federal hospital for drug addicted individuals. This book reveals the story of the experiments he endured.”
W.H. Wall, Sr. dedicated his life to public service, serving in the state senate during the 1940’s and 1950’s, where he championed the healthcare needs of everyday Georgians. However, his life took a tragic turn when he became unwittingly addicted to a prescription drug, which led a nightmarish chain of events, including a DEA investigation that would see him lose his medical career, his community’s trust, and eventually his sanity. In prison, the doctor discovered he had been incarcerated in an institution approved by the CIA for its notorious MK Ultra drug experiments. But despite his objections, he was nevertheless subjected to these experimental drugs, resulting in an undiagnosed mental illness that caused paranoid delusions and eventual downfall.
“From Healing to Hell” is both a memoir and a sobering warning to every American to be vigilant about the effects of drug addiction and the potential for illegal actions even in institutions designed to protect the public. “While the government is essential to protect us, its powers must never be left unchecked,” the author reminds.
“From Healing to Hell: 3rd Edition” By William Henry Wall, Jr. is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
