Three Threads is a sequel to Jones’ first historical fiction novel Pendulum. It casts three strangers from opposite sides of the world on distinct journeys, a lifetime in the making. Driven by external forces and clandestine missions, each must overcome unique challenges to converge on a land and its people, beset by strife. In this unconventional warfare setting individual skills, capabilities, and experience are tested to the fullest, yet survival ultimately rests in the hands of strangers. Three Threads’ characters, actions, and events are complex but realistic. Jones draws on his professional experience and expertise to present a hard-hitting view of remarkable people in extraordinary circumstances, set in faraway and exotic places amid an everchanging environment.
“…a unique and compelling insight into the winds of change that could have altered the course of the Soviet Union forever. Highly insightful, and utterly plausible-a valuable contribution to all that has been written about the Cold War.” Major General (Retired) Mike Ennis, USMC Pendulum pits a little known and heretofore classified organization, the United States Military Liaison Mission (USMLM) and its main character, Major Matt Bollard, against the Soviet forces of East Germany, and places this rivalry in the context of a Soviet military conspiracy against its own political apparatus. The catalyst for action by both sides is the fast approaching signing of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF). While elements of the Soviet military seek to counter the political changes occurring within its own government and negate the effects of arms negotiations, equally determined members of the U.S. military seek to demonstrate through its intelligence collection that the Soviets cannot be trusted to enter into any viable arms control treaty.
To those who have heard of him, Fox Conner’s name is synonymous with mentorship. He is the “grey eminence” within the Army whose influence helped to shape the careers of George Patton, George Marshall, and, most notably, President Eisenhower. What little is known about Conner comes primarily through stories about his relationship with Eisenhower, but little is known about Fox Conner himself. After a career that spanned four decades, this master strategist ordered all of his papers and journals burned. Because of this, most of what is known about Conner is oblique, as a passing reference in the memoirs of other great men. This book combines existing scholarship with long-forgotten references and unpublished original sources to achieve a more comprehensive picture of this dedicated public servant. The portrait that emerges provides a four-step model for developing strategic leaders that still holds true today. First and foremost, Conner was a master of his craft. Secondly, he recognized and recruited talented subordinates. Then he encouraged and challenged these protégés to develop their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. Finally he wasn’t afraid to break the rules of the organization to do it. Here, for the first time ever, is the story of Major General Fox Conner.
“Soldier and Spouse and Their Traveling House puts a witty spin on the dynamic of newlywed husband and wife trekking across two continents during their first three years of marriage. Who heads this household? The thrill-seeking soldier? Or the sensible spouse? Come along with this twenty-something military couple on their off-duty weekends as they dash in and out of trouble from the Emerald Isle to cruising down the Nile and many places in between—Western Europe, the Baltic, North Africa, the Balkans, Eastern Europe, and the Mediterranean.”
“An expansive study of the brutal rites of initiation at elite institutions that shaped young men into military leaders. Informed by his own experience as a cadet at West Point, John Morris offers the first transnational history of student life at elite military preparatory institutions in Europe and America and the unofficial, underground rituals, practices, and codes that formed a crucial part of the education there. Comparing British public schools, the monarchical cadet schools in Imperial Germany, Austria, and Russia, and the US Military Academy over the course of the nineteenth and into the twentieth century and the world wars, Morris presents critical insights on the unsanctioned methods employed to transform young students into leaders of men. Extracurricular traditions—including but not limited to severe hazing—Morris argues, shaped the officers-in-training much more than their official courses of study. He also shows how romantic and sexual relations between boys facilitated the cultivation of hypermasculinity at these institutions. Students to Soldiers offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the budding military elites of Europe and America, both unpacking the arcane rituals that eventually became codified into honored traditions and analyzing their influence over the long term.”
“An intimate and unvarnished portrait of a war-weary nation penned by a senior intelligence officer who spent a year on the ground in Kabul. From 2008-2009, then Colonel Zwack kept an intimate journal of his experiences as a soldier serving in complex and dangerous Afghanistan when the success and failure of the international mission still hung in the balance. During that time, he was the Director of the Joint Intelligence and Operations Center located at the NATO-led International Security and Assistance Force headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan. The Afghanistan Kabul Kurier addresses the multiple challenges that plagued the mission and overall region, which were not fundamentally different from those that led to the recent Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Colorfully written, the Afghanistan Kabul Kurier offers compelling vignettes and stories, as well as rare insights into Afghan society and culture, including the traditional division and tension between urban and rural communities; its diverse tribes and ethnicities; the plight of women and girls; governance during endemic corruption; the corrosive opium trade; difficult regional neighbors; and much more. Readers will feel as if they are alongside Zwack in a helicopter as he flies through the vast Hindu Kush mountains and navigates hazardous roads along the harsh Afghanistan terrain.”
“At the behest of rogue Iranian government officials, two terrorists break into the grave of an American veterans cemetery in the Suresnes suburb of Paris. What they take from that grave could lead to the deaths of millions of Israeli and US citizens, as well as Jews around the world. US Army Major Jake Fortina, a military attaché stationed at the US Embassy in Paris, is called upon by the FBI and French and Italian law enforcement and intelligence officials to help defeat Iran’s nefarious plan. Beginning in Paris, this international drama leads readers from Afghanistan to England, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey, and the United States in the scramble to save the world from a terror unknown since the deadly Spanish flu outbreak of 1918.”
Advice for a US Security Cooperation Officer Serving In Africa. A sub-Saharan Africa US Army Foreign Area Officer describes his journey and learning experiences through a series of blog posts consolidated into this wonderful book. Andrus Chaney’s experiences through security cooperation and security assistance activities as a security cooperation officer stationed out of a US embassy should be required reading for every new security cooperation officer coming out of training and heading to their first post overseas. From acronyms to planning a critical leader engagement to a chapter dedicated solely to developing a complete military capability package using the total package approach. Although centered around Africa, this book and its lessons fully apply to any new security cooperation officer beginning their journey at a US embassy. Amazon

“Swimming the Volga is a personal eyewitness account of day-to-day life in a provincial Russian city during a remarkable period in world history just before the dissolution of the Soviet Union and before the names Putin and Russia became inseparable.” Amazon
“Peter Hopkirk’s spellbinding account of the great imperial struggle for supremacy in Central Asia has been hailed as essential reading with that era’s legacy playing itself out today.” Amazon.
“Recently declassified information makes it possible for the first time to tell part of the story behind the Cold War intelligence operations of the U.S. Military Liaison Mission (USMLM) to the Commander of the Soviet Army in Communist East Germany. Intelligence collection often led to dangerous encounters with the Cold War spies, Soviet and East German armies. On occasion, Allied officers and non-commissioned officers were seriously injured. Before it all ended with the collapse of the Iron Curtain, one French sergeant and one American officer had been killed. Potsdam Mission traces the development of the author into a Soviet/Russian specialist and U.S. Army intelligence officer. The author then relates his own intelligence collection forays into East Germany by taking the reader on trips that include several harrowing experiences and four arrests/detentions by the Soviets. Finally, the author describes the challenges and rewards of interpreting at USMLM and comments on the important role played by the Mission in Cold War intelligence.” Amazon
“On his second tour in Vietnam, U.S. Army Captain John Haseman served 18 months as a combat advisor in the Mekong Delta’s Kien Hoa Province. His detailed memoir gives one of the few accounts of a district-level advisor’s experiences at the “point of the spear.” Often the only American going into combat with his South Vietnamese counterparts, Haseman highlights the importance of trust and confidence between advisors and their units and the courage of the men he fought with during the 1972 North Vietnamese summer offensive. Among the last advisors to leave the field, Haseman describes the challenges of supporting his counterparts with fewer and fewer resources, and the emotional conclusion of an advisory mission near the end of the Vietnam War.” Amazon
“For fifty years following World War II, the US Military Liaison Mission (USMLM) to the Soviet Forces in East Germany was one of the premier intelligence collection organizations in the Cold War struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. Operating “behind the lines” with excellent access to front line Soviet Forces in East Germany, the officers and non-commissioned officers of the allied Military Liaison Missions conducted continuous, close-up monitoring of the most powerful ground and air forces of the Soviet Union: those directly confronting NATO forces along the inter-German border.
The author was a USMLM liaison officer for four years (1982-1986). He conducted 165 missions into East Germany, performing close surveillance of the nineteen Soviet divisions located there. Mission is a personal recollection of those surveillance activities. It is a close-up view of an organization that, for fifty years, stood on the cutting edge of the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union.” – Amazon
“A fourth-generation soldier tells the story of his father’s tank battalion, the “Spearhead,” that selflessly led the charge on the front lines from Normandy into Germany—against impossible odds, technologically superior weaponry, and a fanatical enemy on its home turf—and the heroes whose sacrifice won World War II.” Harper Collins
“Moten begins with an overview of the definition of military professionalism and what other scholars have said about when and why American military professionalism developed. Part One examines the U.S. Military Academy, the development of the army officer corps, and the influence of the West Point “system and habit of thought” on the antebellum army. The second section follows the actions of the Delafield Commission and places the commission in the context of the military profession of the 1850s. The final section analyzes the commission’s reports and their effects on the American military profession. Here, Moten assesses what the commissioners saw and wrote, as well as what they did not see and write.” Amazon.
Excellent recount of one of the first military attaches. “Military Attache in Moscow” by Major General Richard Hilton. One could argue this work is by a “British FAO.” Maj Gen Hilton was a British officer who served as an attaché in Moscow. Great read.

Part II of his fiction series.
“There was once an American general called Joseph Stilwell, and they nicknamed him “Vinegar Joe.” He fought in the China‐Burma‐India theater during World War II, and he quarreled with Chiang Kai‐shek. He died in 1946, but he had kept an impolitic and amusing diary, parts of which were edited by Theodore White into a best seller in 1948. And memories and wishes and evidence flowed together and Vinegar Joe was put into his niche: a cantankerous yet lovable old cuss, who saw the truth and saw it whole, who spoke up when others were silent until he offended too many people in high places and was recalled.” https://www.nytimes.com/1971/02/07/archives/stilwell-and-the-american-experience-in-china-191145-by-barbara.html.
“A new U.S. Army Foreign Area Officer is assigned the daunting task of becoming an expert in Sub-Saharan Africa. In the course of one year Arnie visited 20 African countries meeting with local officials and working with African militaries while weathering the heat of the Sahara desert, tropical rainstorms, and civil unrest. In his travels he also climbs Kilimanjaro, swims with whale sharks, and gets the bends in Mombasa among many other adventures.” Amazon
Dispatches from the Cowgirl is a well-written personal memoir of an American family’s experience in Africa. Told in short anecdotal chapters it highlights the truism that home is where the heart is and…there is enough incident and personal detailing to provide a valuable insight into the life of a military family abroad. –IndieReader. Tully’s memoir captures her extraordinary experience of living in Africa as the spouse of a naval diplomat in vivid detail. She’s charming, as is the book…this is a fascinating account of one woman’s journey around the earth. —BookLife/Publisher’s Weekly. Would you move to Africa?

Dixie Mission: The United States Army Observer Group in Yenas 1944
The greatest history of the military attaché out there.
One of the first memoirs of a US Army attaché.
Fiction: “When Kelly Trost, the rebellious daughter of a powerful U.S. senator, vanishes, Lt. Colonel Evan Burton ventures into the heart of a chaotic, lawless country on the border between Europe and Asia, in the hope of rescuing the young woman, who has become a bargaining point in a dangerous and deadly global power struggle.” Amazon.
“This riveting memoir follows a Lebanese-Muslim-American and thirty-year US Marine veteran who suffered a six-month ordeal at the hands of a brutal regime in Yemen—and remained loyal to his country through it all. As air strikes carpeted Yemen’s capital, Sam Farran was one of only a few Americans in the war-ravaged country. He was there to conduct security assessments for a variety of international firms. Days after his arrival, he was brutally seized and taken hostage by Houthi rebels. Sam would spend the next six months suffering a horrific ordeal that would test his endurance, his loyalty and his very soul.” Amazon.
This memoir portrays the ups and downs in the life and work of an American military attache in the Soviet Union from 1979-1981. The Iranian Hostage Crisis, the failed attempt to rescue those hostages, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the American-led boycott of the Moscow Summer Olympics all occurred during this period. The author describes both the stark living conditions in Moscow and, based partly on his reports from Moscow that the Defense Intelligence Agency declassified, takes the reader on information collection trips to various cities in the Soviet Union. That travel was in itself an adventure once his wife and he were forced to sleep in a provincial train station. The KGB frequently tampered with his auto and personal possessions. The authors job was to observe and report m… Source publisher.
“A memoir from the days of ‘Punish France, Ignore Germany, Forgive Russia’ Next Mission provides rare insights, based on four years of military attaché duty, during one of the most troubled periods of relations with America’s oldest ally, France.”
Culture Shock is a book written by FAOs from all Services and published by the Foreign Area Officer Association.

This work is not by a FAO but is one every FAO should read. “Combining rigorous academic scholarship with the experience of a senior Pentagon policymaker, Mara E. Karlin explores the key national security issue of our time: how to effectively build partner militaries. Given the complex and complicated global security environment, declining U.S. defense budgets, and an increasingly connected (and often unstable) world, the United States has an ever-deepening interest in strengthening fragile states. Particularly since World War II, it has often chosen to do so by strengthening partner militaries. It will continue to do so, Karlin predicts, given U.S. sensitivity to casualties, a constrained fiscal environment, the nature of modern nationalism, increasing transnational security threats, the proliferation of fragile states, and limits on U.S. pub…” Source-Publisher.
“This book is a first person account of military service during the Cold War in Europe from the erection to the destruction of the Berlin Wall. It is also about combat in Vietnam as an artilleryman in the Central Highlands and as an infantry advisor in the Mekong Delta. The author participated in the investigation of a fragging incident that killed an NCO, he put down an attempted mutiny and directed the first artillery counter-battery attack on Soviet artillery manned by North Vietnamese regulars in the tri-border era of Vietnam-Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. He worked with the CIA in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam managing the Phoenix Program while assigned to Tam Binh District where he met the legendary John Paul Vann and hosted visits by Sir Robert Thompson, the British guerrilla warfare expert and John Erlichman, advisor to President Richard Nixon. Between tours of duty in Vietnam, he returned to Germany with a Pershing Missile unit that experienced severe discipline problems including drugs, assault and attempted murder. This book is about a thirty-three year military career from private to colonel during a particularly difficult time for the US Army. He served in Germany, Vietnam and Belgium and conducted missions in Africa. While in Belgium he served at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), the American Embassy and finally NATO headquarters. The author participated in a NATO Summit attended by President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher and completed his career on the faculty of the Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania where he participated in the first uniformed visit to Warsaw, Prague and Budapest following the demise of the Warsaw Pact.” Amazon
“LTC (US Army, Retired) Roy Peterson served as an Assistant Army AttachÃ(c) in Moscow during the peak of the Cold War Years from 1983-1985. American AttachÃ(c) in the Moscow Maelstrom is a carefully crafted work that opens the window on what it was like to serve American interests in that intense environment. This book is more than reminiscences. As a professional intelligence officer, the author provides instruction on how to conduct overt intelligence collection, insight into the craft of human intelligence collection, historical perspectives, and how act as an attachÃ(c). Although this is a nonfiction book, parts of it read like a novel. Roy Peterson is presently (2005) a faculty member of the University of Phoenix, President of TriCrown International LLC, and Senior Executive Vice President of Executive Information Systems and Investment Group. Roy Peterson served in Vladivostok, Russia from 1993-94, as the first U.S. Foreign Commercial Officer in the Russian Far East for the US Department of Commerce, as a Visa Issuing Officer for the Department of State, and as the first Russian Far East Regional Manager for IBM. Roy is a recognized consultant and educator on international trade, marketing, and global business strategies.” Amazon
