APF said:I should also point-out that a book I was a technical consultant on--one which highly-spoke to issues with foreign policy relevance, and is regularly cited here in "what are you reading" threads--AFAIK gained more awards and critical-acclaim than the one you're talking about.
Good for you! Now maybe when you become more well versed in the field you can actually write books of your own instead of riding the coattails of another.
