This afternoon I’ll be discussing the war in Iran and my book “If I Don’t Return” first with @danabash.bsky.social at 12, then @nicolewallacebr.bsky.social at 4.

What It Felt Like to Face Combat in the Middle East Everyone experiences fear differently. Here’s what it was like for me.

"Here’s the other side of fear: When you overcome it, when you face it and push through, you grow in ways you didn’t think possible."

Sadly missed the CNN segment (though I always look forward to updates from the CP on the Bulwark), but felt like a child on Christmas to receive my copy the other day. Extraordinary, and I've already dog-eared pages & pages. Looking forward to an opportunity to have it signed when you visit B'ton.

@markhertling.bsky.social reflects with @stephruhle.bsky.social on the cost of war as the U.S.-Israel conflict against Iran unfolds.

"The thing that has been recurring in my mind is a lack of seriousness and understanding of what happens when you put America's sons and daughters into harms way."

So good. Thanks so much!

Let me know your thoughts! Thanks for getting it.

Amazon has not been very good. You should have ordered from Ballast Books! They’re all shipped in a day.

Tomorrow with Nicolle in studio.

Returning to @cnn.com tonight to speak to my friend @andersoncooper360.bsky.social about Iran and a bit about my book, which comes out tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy it. I could come down and give a presentation of the book and a book sale.

Thanks so much!

Hope you enjoy it!

About 500 each day. And thanks for buying.

Thank you!

Order from ballast books.

Sunday morning, signing 500 more books for the Ballast Books orders!

It is always a professional development session with the great @katiephang.bsky.social. Thanks for having me on, my friend.

Seriously, do you have to ask a question that has such an obvious answer?

No
