Never Print Classified Materials

I spent 25 years in the State Department, most of it at numerous U.S. Embassies overseas.  I handled classified documents every day, up to and including Top Secret and Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI).

Over those 25 years, I never received a single notice of violation for mishandling a classified document.

Not one.

Overseas, you could get a violation for leaving a classified document on your

China Conquers Taiwan by Ted Halstead
"interesting take on a potential situation.

Very realistic approach to this current problem.
Made to seem a bit too simple to solve.
Nevertheless it is a good read and have many interesting technical details. "
China Conquers Taiwan by Ted Halstead
"Of the books in the series so far, this one features the least of the FSB agents and more so the Chinese PLAN and PLAAF characters introduced in books 5 and 6. Grishkov and his family are getting ready to retire in France and somehow the French DGSE." Read more of this review »

Well Considered and Credible

Turtledove paints an intriguing picture of a world where WWII came early, thanks to the absence of Chamberlain’s deal with Hitler over Czechoslovakia. Better, or worse? I guess I won’t know until I finish the series!

Quotes by Ted Halstead  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“An entire lifetime of indoctrination gave him reasons why he should ignore the success of the capitalist model. Ironically, it was his training as an intelligence officer that forced him finally to admit the obvious. The Chinese Communist Party had chosen to embrace capitalism because it worked.”
Ted Halstead, The Second Korean War

“mistake”
Ted Halstead, The Saudi-Iranian War

“North Korea bought its first dozen MiG-29s from Belarus in 1995, as the worst part of the Great Famine began, at a cost of nearly half a billion dollars. That would have been enough to feed every hungry North Korean man, woman, and child for two years. Estimates of Great Famine deaths ranged between two to three and a half million. As a result, these dozen MiG-29s had probably killed more people than any others in history, without firing a shot.”
Ted Halstead, The Second Korean War
