edit data

Niels Andersen is a community college instructor and retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel whose career took him to operating theaters around the world. From desert sands to the storied halls of the Pentagon, he taps a deep well of experience working national and military strategy. As an amateur military history buff he draws on past and current events to shape his stories and blur the lines between fact and fiction. His books highlight the extraordinary work of ordinary people in the relentless pursuit of our national defense, many whose accomplishments remain in the shadows and are known only by the ones who sent them into harms way, and those who fought by their side.

I published book #2 on KDP as well as IngramSpark. Ingram gets distribution to traditional bookstor
