Mark Moyar holds the William P. Harris Chair in Military History at Hillsdale College. During the Trump administration, he received a political appointment at the US Agency for International Development, serving as the director of the Office of Civilian-Military Cooperation. After he reported several career bureaucrats for corruption, he was fraudulently accused of divulging classified information, setting in motion the events described in this book. His previous academic appointments include the Kim T. Adamson Chair of Insurgency and Terrorism at the US Marine Corps University and fellowships at the Joint Special Operations University and Texas A&M University. The author of seven previous books on history, leadership, and international development, he has also written articles for the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and many other publications. He received a BA summa cum laude from Harvard and a PhD from Cambridge.

In the United States you can elect any president you want, but a small group of people you’ve never heard of still run everything — year after year, administration after administration. That’s not democracy. It’s oligarchy, and Mark Moyar explains exactly how it works. —Tucker CarlsonMark Moyar’s account of his years in the public arena is vital for every citizen to read and understand.  It is the unelected that largely govern us—and subvert the will of the people. This is the best insider account on this subject I have read.  Moyar’s Masters of Corruption is a must read.—Peter Schweizer, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Red Handed
