作者簡介
Paul Barber's life experiences enable him to present, in Taming the Sword, a fictional account of a terrorist event so bold it will give pause to the minds of those leaders responsible for protecting America.
Barber's participation in crisis management at the national defense level provides the knowledge and understanding of how National Command Authorities (President and Secretary of Defense) respond to various world crises. His subsequent service at the U.S. State Department allows an insider perspective on events dangerous to the United States and how diplomatic efforts are used to diffuse those situations. In Taming the Sword, he uses this depth of knowledge to present a perilous, but necessary, response to the most horrific terrorist attack ever mounted against America.
Through his many associations with people from other countries, including several years living in North Africa, Barber has accumulated valuable knowledge of various laws and methods of governing that incorporate different beliefs and moral value systems. Additional study of Middle Eastern cultures has provided insight into the rationale for using terror to overcome years of perceived injustice.
During the Vietnam War, Barber flew over 200 combat support missions. Later, while commanding his unit, he and his crews safely completed nearly 2,000 wartime missions for which he received the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with Valor. In a subsequent assignment to HQ, MACV in Saigon, he helped draft President Nixon's plan to end the war and return home Americans held as POW's.
Barber holds a BS from Kansas State University and a MS from Central Michigan University. He is a graduate of senior level management and leadership programs including the Air Command and Staff College and a year of study at the National Defense University. He completed a professorship at a major midwestern university while heading up the Reserve Officers Training Corps Program responsible for training commissioned officers for the United States Air Force.
Throughout his military service, Colonel Barber received numerous Air Force, Army, and Joint Staff awards including the Silver Star. Retiring after a 28-year Air Force career, he completed a second career as an Edward Jones Financial Advisor where he worked to help people meet their financial goals.
Barber previously authored America in the Crosshairs and Another Day in Which to Excel. He's an authored poet living in East Texas.
