A close adviser to ex-Defense Secretary James Mattis has written a "sometimes shocking" book detailing the "complicated relationship" between Mattis and President Donald Trump, and describing how Mattis worked to block some of Trump's proposals, according to a press release obtained by NBC News ahead of the book's official distribution.

Written by the secretary's former communications director, retired Navy Cmdr. Guy "Bus" Snodgrass, "Holding the Line: Inside the Pentagon With General Mattis" is scheduled for publication by Sentinel in October.

The press release describes the book as "an insider's sometimes shocking account of how Defense Secretary James Mattis led the U.S. military through global challenges while serving as a crucial check on the Trump Administration."

Maybe Mattis will earn enough for that much needed blepharoplasty.

Mattis was an insubordinate deep state traitor. We are getting our first team on the field now and things will start happening. Trump is way to slow on the trigger on these traitors. When Don Jr in president he will mow them down.

Slow rolling Trump initiatives with no intention of implementing them is not honorable. Resign if you feel that strongly about an issue. Trump was elected by the people and Mattis was appointed by the CIC.

"When Don Jr is president he will mow them down."

I like Don Jr. but he's not a Natural Born Citizen.

His mother, Ivanna, was a foreign national at the time of his birth.

Mattis had a reputation as a warrior.
He flushed that when he saluted the transgenderizing of our military.

Mattis was all mouth, and a treacherous tool of the neocon world. When it counted, he stood with the enemy.
