Seller's Description:
Lisa Fyfe (Jacket Design), Michael Fairchild (Jack. Very good in Very good jacket. x, [2], 275, [1] pages. Illustrations. Index. Inscription on title page signed and dated by Pat J. Murphy. Patrick Joseph Murphy (born October 19, 1973) is a former politician from Pennsylvania who formerly served as the United States Under Secretary of the Army. He was the first veteran of the Iraq War to be elected to the United States House of Representatives, representing Pennsylvania's 8th congressional district from 2007-11. Murphy is a former anchor of Taking the Hill on MSNBC and a Philadelphia-based partner at national law firm Fox Rothschild. Murphy was confirmed as Under Secretary of the Army by the U.S. Senate on December 18, 2015, after having been nominated for the position by the President on August 5, 2015. Murphy was sworn into the post on January 4, 2016. The first Iraq War veteran elected to Congress turns out to be an intelligent observer who hated what he saw and decided to do something about it. Murphy pulled himself together after a misspent youth, joined the Army ROTC, attended Widener University and became the youngest professor at West Point. Teaching law, he stressed that no American is too powerful to be above the law-or to decide that someone else doesn't deserve its protection. Murphy was a gung-ho soldier who underwent paratrooper training and joined the 82nd Airborne Division. Transferring to Iraq in 2003, he witnessed the chaos that ensued when the United States destroyed the infrastructure, dismissed Saddam Hussein's officials and disbanded his army. He left the service, returned home and, in 2005, decided to run for Congress as a critic of the war. The book's final third delivers a nuts-and-bolts account of his campaign, an uphill struggle in a conservative district against a ruthless, well-financed incumbent.
