Soldier Secretary

Warnings from the Battlefield & the Pentagon About America's Most Dangerous Enemies

De: Christopher C. Miller, Ted Royer - contributor

Narrado por: John Pruden

President Trump's last secretary of defense shares harrowing stories of missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, gives an "important" insider look at the tumultuous final days of the administration, and issues a stark warning about the readiness of the military under President Biden (Sean Hannity).

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.

Great book

A very honest look at our nation’s problems, intertwined with the captivating story of Miller’s military career and public service

Leadership

Christopher Miller is a TRUE AMERICAN LEADER and exactly what our country is starved for. Leadership is becoming ideologically extinct!!! I agree, whole heartedly, with Miller’s agenda at his conclusion of this book. Let’s restore our nation, humble ourselves and pray for guidance from God, our Creator, to heal our land.

Fabulous listen worth the time

Great stories and articulate course of action to bring us to date in modern world

Great!

Very good look into the issues with the industrial military complex and what our nation needs to do to right itself.

worth your time

I enjoyed the stories, which were well written. the narrator was good also. this was a good choice.

Amazing insight

This book and it’s author provides great insight for the civilian and military individuals on the current national security issues we face today!

Required reading for actual warriors.

The Department of Defense has been built and funded for World War III. Prior to losing a single dollar, they will make sure that war happens.

Very proud that this unapproved perspective is starting to be communicated. I don't imagine it will go over well in the flag officer community, but those are the same people sacrificing American lives to support nothing more than their career growth.

Accountability

Senior military officials need to be held accountable, this book outlines a great plan for that.

Great book

loved it. he should be put in a position to emplment his action list.

Thought provoking

Honest storytelling with a compelling message at the end. I enjoyed every page and have recommended to everyone I know. Christopher Miller understands service and has led from the front with his own!
