CNN’s Jake Tapper and Author Sean Parnell Discuss New Book “Man of War," TONIGHT

Author Sean Parnell will discuss his debut novel "Man of War" with CNN anchor Jake Tapper and National Press Club President Andrea Edney at a Headliners Book Rap on Thursday, Sept. 13, at 6:30 p.m. in the Club's conference rooms.

As a U.S. Army Ranger, Parnell commanded an elite infantry platoon known as the Outlaws, tasked with rooting out insurgents from a valley along Afghanistan's eastern frontier. His nonfiction account, entitled "Outlaw Platoon," became a best-seller and “required reading” for young cadets across the country. Now Parnell brings his real-world experience and storytelling skills to fiction with "Man of War." The novel introduces Parnell's character Eric Steele, an elite clandestine operative assigned to a U.S. intelligence unit known simply as "The Program."

This event will feature a discussion with the author, an audience Q&A session, and a book signing. Tickets are $5 for Club members and $10 for the general public. They can be purchased by clicking here.
