Book of the Month

Dear Sir : I am a USMA grad (1999), and I am writing to you because I have written a book based on my experiences in Afghanistan securing the elections there and conducting counter-terrorist operations. The book, A Democracy Is Born (Greenwood/Praeger), came out at the beginning of this month, and I wanted to make you aware of it. I thought the book might be of interest to members of the West Point Society of SW Virginia, so I wanted to send you a note about it so you could pass the information along to your members. It has been favorably reviewed by two USMA grads, General (Ret.) Barry McCaffrey (1964) and author Ed Ruggero (1980). Please take a look at the website: http://www.ademocracyisborn.com Thanks for your attention! Sincerely, Matt Morgan Matthew J. Morgan404.915.4084

A Democracy Is Born deftly weaves his personal travels into the wider sweep of an historic era. The beauty, danger, poignancy, and hope of Afghanistan come alive in these pages.
Endorsement from Ed Ruggero, Best-Selling Military Historian, Author of The First Men In and The Leader's CompassMatt Morgan served his country in Afghanistan, and he continues his service in writing A Democracy Is Born. He provides a vivid, first-hand account of the difficulties and tremendous sacrifices made by Americans and Afghans to bring stability and peace to that troubled land.
