President Trump's last secretary of defense shares harrowing
stories of missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, gives an insider look
at the tumultuous final days of the Trump administration, and
issues a stark warning about the readiness of the military under
President Biden.If you know one thing about Chris Miller, it's that
he was President Donald Trump's final Secretary of Defense,
elevated to that position in the days after the 2020 election. If
you know a second thing about Chris Miller, it's that he oversaw
the U.S. Armed Forces during one of the most controversial and
tumultuous periods the military has experienced in decades,
culminating in the shocking events at the U.S. Capitol on January
6, 2021. Yet Chris Miller is no political partisan. On the
contrary, Miller has spent his adult life in the crosshairs of
America's most dangerous enemies--from Middle Eastern deserts to
the bowels of U.S. intelligence agencies--and emerged as one of the
leading national security minds of his generation.Needless to say,
Chris Miller has stories to tell. In Soldier Secretary, he reveals
for the first time everything he saw--in a book that is candid,
thought-provoking, and like that of no Secretary of Defense before
him. This book is not just the inside story of what happened during
the Trump administration--it's the inside story of what happened to
America, its military, and its institutions during the two decades
after September 11, 2001.Part badass, part iconoclast, Miller is an
irreverent, heterodox, and always-fascinating thinker whose
personal journey through war and the White House has led him to
some shocking conclusions about the state of American power in
2021. With a perspective that will surprise and interest both
Republicans and Democrats, Miller argues for a radical rethinking
of U.S. national security strategy unlike anything since the
creation of the joint armed forces in the 1980s. He offers a
roadmap for how the United States can win in the era of
unrestricted warfare by shedding the bloated defense bureaucracy,
bringing American forces home from endless conflicts, renewing our
national unity, and beating China at its own game. Miller is a true
American warrior whose incredible journey from Iowa to Afghanistan
to Iraq to the White House endeared him to the troops, prepared him
for the unprecedented crisis of January 6, and left him deeply
concerned about the future of our military and the future of our
nation.
