Kurt Muse was born in the United States into a family of citizen soldiers whose roots go back to the Revolutionary War. His adventurous family lived first in Cuba and eventually settled in Panama, where they began a printing and graphic arts supply business.
He returned to Panama to help grow his family’s business and start a family. Being an American citizen, Kurt studiously avoided politics…until Noriega burned down one of his companies and killed one of his good friends. Panama was the only home Kurt knew, and a ruthless machete-waving dictator was threatening it.
Muse had been imprisoned for broadcasting from a pirate radio station that dissented against Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. He was the first American rescued from prison by the U.S. Delta Force.
