Command Sergeant Major Cleveland Spires lost his family, his career, his pride and ten years of his life while in prison for something he didn't do. Now, he's out and simply trying to reestablish himself when he uncovers a clue that might prove his innocence. He heads down a dark and twisting path that leads him to Bangkok, Thailand and on to Tokyo, Japan where the path suddenly widens into a road, a road leading directly to war. Coalition warfare is nothing new. In fact, the US has become masterful at building them. But what happens when the coalition isn't one the US has built; instead it's one whose intent is to destroy the global economy. This is a story of international intrigue, politics and American military power. The military organizations are real. The characters represent the men and women of the US Armed Forces who work every day at protecting America's interests. In the aftermath of 9/11, Colin Powell said that despite America's terribly sophisticated intelligence gathering ability, there is no substitute for something as simple as a human being on the ground, who overhears something. After reading A Path to Innocence, A Road to War, you'll see the wisdom in Powell's comment. ABOUT THE AUTHOR John Wemlinger joined the United States Army in 1968 after graduating from Ohio State University. In a twenty-seven year military career, he led a tank platoon, flew helicopters in Vietnam and commanded military seaports at various locations around the world. It was during a tour of duty in Tokyo, Japan, that the idea for A Path to Innocence, A Road to War came to him, but he says, "It wasn't until after 9/11 that I was moved to finish it, to get it in print and in front of the public. The relevance of this book in today's world numbs me." His last assignment before his retirement as a Colonel in 1995 was Deputy Director of Logistics at United States Transportation Command, one of the command's featured in his book. Over his years of service, he's been awarded the Army Commendation Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, The Defense Meritorious Service Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, The Bronze Star, The Legion of Merit and the Defense Superior Service Medal. He lives in Battle Creek, Michigan with his wife, Diane and their dog, Mattie. He currently works for the Battle Creek Public Schools as a career and education advisor. In his spare time, when he's not writing, he likes to be outdoors playing golf, gardening or simply enjoying a good book. Login to review this product
