Kaj Larsen said A must read for national security professionals and the American public. This book is a must read. Full disclosure I know James Mitchell. I interviewed him before his book came out. Even though I know him, I have been looking forward to this book for a long time. First of all, Mitchell was at the very very tip of the spear. He wasnt in the back halls in Washington making academic decisions, he was on the front lines. His book is rare insight into what it means to have to grapple with whats right with whats necessary. There is a tendenc
