"Thrilling and inspired. Though fiction, Dragon Fire is an electrifying tale packed with insights about everything from White House infighting, to the Pentagon, the CIA and onto the world stage and the potential threats from Russia and China. All from a former Senator and Secretary of Defense who has been there and seen it all." --Bob Woodward "Only someone who knows the minefields of world politics firsthand could have written this tense insider thriller. Former Secretary of Defense William Cohen draws upon the labyrinthine intrigues of the world's most powerful people in such a way that the pages seem to turn themselves. Dragon Fire is a fascinating thriller." --Richard North Patterson, New York Times bestselling author of Conviction "William Cohen has written a superb, fast paced tale of international intrigue and murder. His insights into the inner-workings of our government and how we interact with other nations adds a powerful dimension to this well-written story that few others could provide. It is truly a great read." --General Anthony C. Zinni USMC (Retired)
