Behind the Blue Curtain: Command Failure and Institutional Betrayal in the U.S. Air Force. Major Sherri P. Malone, USAF (Ret.), with Joe Weaver.

ABOUT THE BOOK

When the system
looked away.

Major Sherri Malone was fighting a war no one would acknowledge. She documented it. Reported it. Carried the proof to commanders, investigators, and an institution built on honor, order, and accountability. Again and again, the system looked away.

Behind the Blue Curtain reads like a thriller. She lived every page.

A fraud uncovered. A complaint silenced. A threat the regulations were written to stop, and didn't. A court-martial that almost never happened. A murder-for-hire plot. Nine names on the target list.

She asked her commanders to believe her. This is the story of what happened when they didn't.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sherri P. Malone

Sherri P. Malone is the pseudonym of a retired United States Air Force Major whose story is told in Behind the Blue Curtain. Her identity is protected for her safety and privacy, and her family’s. She hopes her story helps other survivors recognize coercion, document the truth, and keep going when they are not believed.
