From the legendary Hua Mulan to the pirate queen Ching Shih, from the drum-beating general Liang Hongyu to the revolutionary matron Mother Lü, Chinese history is threaded with women who took up arms—not...

I Do Solemnly Swear... Some oaths are made in uniform. Others are made in love. This book was written for both. But above all, it was written for them — my wife and daughter, still waiting on the other side of a locked gate in Iran, still hoping the nation I served remembers we exist.
