(CNN) Gen. McMaster’s blistering account of the Trump White House. Quoting,

…McMaster recounts in his new book, “At War with Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House,” in some ways, his most challenging tour as a soldier was his last one: serving as the national security adviser to a notoriously mercurial president.

I read McMaster’s last book, Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World. Well written, it shared similarity to the relevance of yesterday’s weather, rapidly overtaken by events.  Mathematically, the international system is chaotic, which means that long-term evolution of the system cannot be predicted from  initial conditions. This time, he has written the right book. Even those with an international focus recognize that domestic affairs are usually, ultimately, more critical to the survival of our nation than foreign.

I look forward to reading At War with Ourselves. There is honor in faithful service to the Constitution of the United States, even in uncomfortable  circumstances.

Through the greatest of coincidences, H.R. McMaster and I  met twice, in each case unaware of the other’s trajectory. I wonder if he remembers Rocky’s pizzeria, a defunct greasy spoon joint? I hope we meet again.

A word error in a book review? CNN misquotes:

…that the indictment of a group of Russian intelligence officers for their interference in the 2016 US presidential election was “inconvertible” evidence of Russian meddling in that election.

The word in red should be incontrovertible, not inconvertible. Both are real words, with different meanings.
