From Foggy Bottom
to Capitol Hill,
by
John Chapman “Chips” Chester
“While at first blush it may appear that this book was written by someone unable to hold a job for long, that proves not to be the case. Or more precisely put, Chips Chester’s hegira from the military to the Foreign Service to congressional staffs has left him with many good stories to tell. And they are tales with much humor, substantial insight into our diplomatic and political systems, and a graceful writing style. I knew the author best as a very good FSO; now I know him, as well, as a fine writer.” —Lawrence Eagleburger, former Secretary of State and Ambassador to Yugoslavia
Softcover: $20.00

French Covert Action in the American Revolution,
by
James M. Potts
"If Benjamin Franklin's covert operations are not well known to the American public, the secret role of the French in the birth of our nation has certainly been minimized and usually overlooked by historians. James Potts's book successfully fills this gap. Moreover, proving that true spy stories are often more interesting than spy fiction. French Covert Action, exciting as it is well documented, makes a fascinating as well as valuable contribution to American colonial history." — John H. Waller, noted author and authority on intelligence

by
Daniel Whitman

A splash of cold water especially for sectors in American politics who have averted their gaze for so long. This book removes the last excuse for them to do so.” — James Morrell, Director, Haiti Democracy Project
