Warrior Diplomat
Grappling with centuries-old feuds, defeating a shrewd insurgency, and navigating the sometimes paralyzing bureaucracy of the U.S. military are issues that prompt sleepless nights for both policy makers in Washington and soldiers at war, albeit for different reasons. Few, however, have dealt with these issues in the White House situation room and on the front line. Michael G. Waltz has done just that, working as a policy advisor to Vice President Richard B. Cheney and also serving in the mountains of Afghanistan as a Green Beret, directly implementing strategy in the field that he helped devise in Washington. In Warrior Diplomat: A Green Beret’s Battles from Washington to Afghanistan ...
Hard Truths
Congressman and retired Green Beret Mike Waltz shares how the mindset he honed in military service can help anyone—in politics, in business or in life—conquer everyday challenges. Up in the mountains of Afghanistan, one of Waltz's snipers watched through his scope as a young boy acted as a spotter for the Taliban mortars attacking a Green Beret position. The sniper requested permission to fire. Waltz refused, insisting on restraint. The child was spared, and the position was held. Later that same day, Waltz visited a nearby Afghan village and discovered the Taliban had hanged a boy in front of his family—because the child wasn't willing to fight for them. Restraint is a trait common to Green Berets, but rare on the battlefield—and even rarer in today's national political discourse. Today, Mike Waltz is a retired Colonel and a U.S. Representative from Florida, the first Green Beret ever to be elected to Congress. After 27 years in the Army, nearly all of them in the elite Special Forces where he fought America's enemies all around the world, he has developed a perspective distinct from most—probably all—of his colleagues in politics today.

On Distant Service
On July 18, 1924, a mob in Tehran killed U.S. foreign service officer Robert Whitney Imbrie. His violent death, the first political murder in the history of the service, outraged the American people. Though Imbrie's loss briefly made him a cause célèbre, subsequent events quickly obscured his extraordinary life and career. Susan M. Stein tells the story of a figure steeped in adventure and history. Imbrie rejected a legal career to volunteer as an ambulance driver during World War I and joined the State Department when the United States entered the war. Assigned to Russia, he witnessed the October Revolution, fled ahead of a Bolshevik arrest order, and continued to track communist activity in Turkey even as the country's war of independence unfolded around him. His fateful assignment to Persia led to his death at age forty-one and set off political repercussions that cloud relations between the United States and Iran to this day. Drawing on a wealth of untapped materials, On Distant Service returns readers to an era when dash and diplomacy went hand-in-hand.

Primacy and Its Discontents
Experts consider whether American primacy will endure or if the future holds a multipolar world of several great powers. The unprecedented military, economic, and political power of the United States has led some observers to declare that we live in a unipolar world in which America enjoys primacy or even hegemony. At the same time public opinion polls abroad reveal high levels of anti-Americanism, and many foreign governments criticize U.S. policies. Primacy and Its Discontents explores the sources of American primacy, including the uses of U.S. military power, and the likely duration of unipolarity. It offers theoretical arguments for why the rest of the world will—or will not—align ag...
Dog Waltz
THE SIXTH P.I. EDDIE FLYNN NOVEL FROM MICHAEL DONOVAN The media spotlight. Never the safest of places. It's a risk Sarah Locke accepts in her role as the face of an investigative TV series that frequently brings her into conflict with ruthless people. But now someone's stalking her, sending threats. Threats real enough to have her production partner call time on the company's biggest investigation. Threats real enough to scare her father, who isn't an easy-to-scare guy. Because he's the head of the Avon and Somerset Police. You'd think that his position as a Chief Constable would assist Bernard Locke in ensuring his daughter's safety. But police power doesn't work that way. And when he recalls the fate of Jill Dando he decides that he needs to find his daughter's adversary. Fast. And he's heard of a guy in London who gets results. For P.I. Eddie Flynn the assignment is gold plated. He's never had a more respectable client, a more engaging protectee or a simpler task. Or a more disastrous result. The sixth P.I. Eddie Flynn novel from award-winning crime author Michael Donovan.
