| John Cook was born and raised in the
coal fields of southern West Virginia. He attended the University of
Delaware and Boston University. After serving twenty-one years in
the U.S. Army, he retired in 1988, and now lives in Calvert County,
Maryland with his wife of twenty-three years, Sara and their two sons,
Zachary and Joshua. Although he has written two other books since The
Advisor was first published in 1973, Cook considers this the best
work he has done so far. "It may be the best thing I ever
do," he concedes, "because it is so damn brutally honest.
There is no way I can make it any better." |
