"Democratic presidents placed American fighting men and women in harm's way without the resolve to support them, without the moral authority and courage to command them, and without clear mission objectives for them to achieve."

-Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson

In his stunning new book, Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Buzz" Patterson (USAF, Ret.)-not only a combat veteran and author of the huge New York Times bestseller Dereliction of Duty, but a former White House military aide who carried the "nuclear football" for President Clinton-makes an overwhelming case that the once great Democratic Party cannot be entrusted with the nation's defense and foreign policy.

Coming from a military family of conservative Democrats, Lt. Col. Patterson learned the hard way that the Democratic Party of Jimmy Carter and Bill and Hillary Clinton, behaves with reckless disregard for American security and for the lives of America's soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines.

With coverage that spans the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq to debates in Congress, Lt. Col. Patterson reveals:

* How Clinton never understood that it takes twenty years for the military to develop a young soldier into a commander-and how he therefore sacrificed the future as well as destroyed the existing military systems * How the disastrous presidencies of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton encouraged radical Islamic terror against the United States * Why Bush critic Richard Clarke-whom Lt. Col. Patterson served with in the Clinton White House-is a fraud * How the Democrats continue to gut our military effectiveness

Relentless in its critique-told with all the passion and conviction of a combat pilot-and urgent in its message, Reckless Disregard belongs in the hands of every American patriot.
