Books for Soldiers

by John J. Miller on January 4, 2010 · View Comments

Want to send a book to a U.S. soldier? Through Friday, if you buy The First Assassin on CreateSpace.com, I will donate a copy to Books for Soldiers, a non-profit organization whose name pretty much says it all. Not a bad deal: You get a book for yourself, and you effectively send a book to a soldier.

It’s possible (but not necessary) to direct your donation. Would you prefer soldiers, sailors, airmen, or Marines? Afghanistan or Iraq? Buy the book and send me an email, using the contact page on this website.

All purchases of The First Assassin made on CreateSpace.com between now and close of business on Friday, January 8 will qualify.

Sir,

Thank you for offering these books to our serving men and women.After reading your offer above I wish to respectfully remind you that the word describing a member of the United States Marine Corps is a proper noun and thus should be spelled Marine.

Thank you for your fine work.

Dear Mr. Miller,

I had been meaning to buy a copy of your book and when I saw this offer to send a book to a soldier, I jumped at it. I just got confirmation of my order and while I can’t wait to read the book, I am very pleased that another copy will be heading to a soldier as well. What a great idea! Please direct the donated book as you see fit — I have friends from both Marines and Army that served in Iraq so I’d lean towards sending it there but please do whatever you think is best.

Thank you very much and best wishes,
SM

Dear Sir,

I had already been considering the purchase of your book, and my decision was made when I read your offer. As the daughter of a Vietnam Veteran (Navy) and the niece of an Air Force colonel (retired), I am thrilled to participate in sending a bit of respite to our service members. Thank you for this opportunity.

Best wishes for continued success.

Thank you Mr. Miller. I’ve been wanting to buy your book. Barnes & Noble didn’t have it. And I’ve been wondering how to send books to our soldiers and Marines. Thanks to you this accomplishes both. Please send your book to either a soldier or Marine in Afghanistan or Iraq. Many thanks.

Just ordered my copy and am glad to know another will be sent to one of the wonderful men and women serving in harm’s way. Thanks so much for this service!

Dear Sir,

Thanks so much for making this donation. I had your book on my Christmas list, but no one came through. I’ve served in Southwest Asia twice, and my son is on his way there next week for his second tour. Not only do we appreciate a good book to read, but we also greatly appreciate the thought behind the donation.

Thanks again,

Tim

Read About It

"An excellent book--it’s like The Day of the Jackal set in 1861 Washington."

--Vince Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Pursuit of Honor

"Packed with fascinating information, superb characters, and sublime plot twists, The First Assassin is one of the most exciting thrillers I have read in a long, long time. This is historical fiction at its best and John J. Miller is the hot new author everyone will be talking about."

--Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Apostle

"The story moves with swift suspense, but Miller's real achievement is to take us inside a mindset nearly lost to time, and to create identifiable, sympathetic characters on all sides, including those who are willing to do murder to preserve the Confederacy and its "'peculiar institution.'"

--Andrew Klavan, author of Empire of Lies

"The First Assassin knocked me out. Utterly compelling, the novel sweeps the reader along multiple storylines which converge at one point, one moment, where history pivots on its axis. A skilled writer of non-fiction, here Miller uses his knowledge and research to create a powerful thriller that is completely believable. With its accurate period details and pitch-perfect characters -- from house slaves to Washington, D.C. careerists to a mysterious hitman -- there’s not a false note in the whole book. Read it and tell me I'm wrong."

--Robert Ferrigno, author of Heart of the Assassin

“Football enthusiasts and Theodore Roosevelt admirers will both enjoy and learn from these little-known but important historic events that preserved from extinction one of America’s favorite sports.”

--Tweed Roosevelt, president of the Theodore Roosevelt Association

“In Miller’s hands, the story of Theodore Roosevelt’s love for, and defense of, ‘the great game’ has as much vigor and passion as Roosevelt himself. It’s a fascinating, thoroughly American tale.”

--Candice Millard, author of The River of Doubt

"The Big Scrum tells the fascinating story of why Teddy Roosevelt thought football was so relevant to American life, and how and why the game he essentially fathered became one of this country's most important cultural institutions. At a time when a coalition of suburban soccer moms and misguided caretakers of American athletics are hell-bent on watering down the game of football, you should take the time to read this book."

--Sal Paolantonio, national correspondent, ESPN
