About the Author

James Rosone is a veteran of the Army National Guard and the U.S. Air Force, serving overseas as an interrogator in Iraq during the 2007 troop surge. After ten years in the service, he became a contractor abroad and then lived for several years in Europe, working for the Department of Defense. He holds several degrees, including a Master of Science from the University of Oxford, and has published multiple books. Through the years, I have escaped in the wonder of the written word; reading helped me to cope with the challenges of life and dream big dreams. My husband noticed that I had a "thing" for correcting grammar, and encouraged me as I edited papers for friends and then eventually edited the manuscript for "Dinner with a Terrorist." My experiences as the wife of a former military man helped to guide my work, and gave me insight to provide feedback to the author.Somehow, in the sleep-deprived haze that is being a working mother of two, I found the time to co-author my first book. A World War III series may not seem like the kind of book that a nurse with an MBA would draft, but "Prelude to World War III: The Rise of the Islamic Republic and the Rebirth of America" offers intelligent commentary on politics and world affairs. I hope you will enjoy reading this novel; perhaps we can all learn some lessons from what has been written here and prevent future tragedy on Earth.
