-​Dr. John Cook, Good Books Radio, PBS Radio Stations

About the Author

​Don Stinson is a graduate of American University and a former newspaper executive. A truly insignificant member of the White House staff during Watergate, he frequently loitered outside of the Oval Office.
​​  
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he worked with newspapers in Russia, Slovakia, and Poland to establish a free and independent press. ​ His accomplishments included being held hostage in a smelting plant, sleeping in an insane asylum guarded by sheep herders, and fighting a goat defending a lavatory door on Russian airliner Aeroflot.  ​​The goat won. ​​
​  
​He (Don, not the goat) is also the author of Rookesby: Urgent Warning, an Amazon best-seller in the Human Rights Law and Leadership categories.
