{"product_id":"9781462855421","title":"The Court Martial Of Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Richard Schaller: Of Lieutenant Colonel...","description":"This story is the obstruction of justice and confl ict of interest trial of Richard  \u003cbr\u003eSchaller in the US District Court in Pensacola FL in July 2009. The Schaller  \u003cbr\u003etrial climaxes the longest white-collar criminal investigation in Air Force history. Its  \u003cbr\u003eimpact on the war on terror was devastating. Schaller advocated the special operations  \u003cbr\u003ecapabilities of the Air Force's Battlefi eld Airmen, war fi ghters who bring all elements  \u003cbr\u003eof airpower to the war on terror. Air Force leaders want no part of special operations,  \u003cbr\u003eBattlefi eld Airmen, or the war on terror. Schaller walked the halls of Congress  \u003cbr\u003eeffectively, rallied innovative small businesses, and won the support of leaders at the  \u003cbr\u003eAir Force Research Laboratory and the Air Force Special Operations Command to  \u003cbr\u003edevelop imaginative capabilities for the Air Force's Battlefi eld Airmen. But Air Force  \u003cbr\u003eoffi cials were threatened by Schaller's campaign for special operations capabilities,  \u003cbr\u003eambushed Schaller, and drove him out of business and into oblivion. This story is  \u003cbr\u003etaken from the court record of the Schaller trial  \u003cbr\u003eand is a chilling revelation of the angry tactics  \u003cbr\u003ethe Air Force, prosecutor, and judge used against  \u003cbr\u003eSchaller. Not since the trial of Brigadier General  \u003cbr\u003eWilliam \"Billy\" Mitchell in 1925 has America  \u003cbr\u003ewitnessed such a signifi cant courtroom test of our  \u003cbr\u003enational security actions. This story is mandatory  \u003cbr\u003ereading for all who believe in our Constitution  \u003cbr\u003eand the continuing fi ght against powerful  \u003cbr\u003egovernment offi cials to whom the Constitution  \u003cbr\u003eis a crumbling relic and obstacle. The work of  \u003cbr\u003efreedom never ends. Witness history.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143839367408,"sku":"9781462855421","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462855421_p0.jpg?v=1763679391","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462855421","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
