In 2014, my book First Do No Harm elicited widespread discussion
in the Croatian and Bosnian press. A petition was presented to the
Croatian president, which criticized my book and also a top
presidential aide who had written a positive review of the book;
the petition urged that the aide should be fired for his review.

In 2013, the State Department's Office of the Historian
published a new 900-page book of documents on the Congo Crisis, in
response to my criticisms of previous State Department

described the controversy, which led to State's new publication,
