Former Pentagon Chief Sues to Publish Material in Memoir
WASHINGTON – Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper claims in a lawsuit against the Defense Department that material is being improperly withheld from his use as he seeks to publish an "unvarnished and candid memoir" of his time in President Donald Trump's cabinet.
The lawsuit, which was filed Sunday in U.S. District Court in Washington, describes the memoir, "A Sacred Oath," as an account of Esper's tenure as Army secretary from 2017 to 2019 and his 18 months as defense secretary, which ended when Trump fired him in a tweet just days after the president lost his reelection bid.
The period in which Esper was Pentagon chief was "an unprecedented time of civil unrest, public health crises, growing threats abroad, Pentagon transformation, and a White House seemingly bent on circumventing the Constitution," the lawsuit says.
Esper and Trump were sharply divided over the use of the military during civil unrest in June 2020 following the killing of George Floyd. Other issues led the president to believe Esper was not sufficiently loyal while Esper believed he was trying to keep the department apolitical. Firing a defense secretary after an election loss was unprecedented, but the opening allowed Trump to install loyalists in top Pentagon positions as he continued to dispute his election loss.
The lawsuit contends that "significant text" in the memoir, scheduled for publication by William Morrow in May, is being improperly held under the guise of classification and that Esper maintains it contains no classified information. The suit notes that Esper is restricted by his secrecy agreements from authorizing publication without Pentagon approval, or face possible civil and criminal liability.
The lawsuit quotes from a letter Esper sent to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin criticizing the review process. He wrote that he had been asked not to quote Trump and others in meetings, not to describe conversations he had with Trump, and not to use certain verbs or nouns when describing historical events.
The letter describes other problematic subjects and says some 60 pages of the manuscript contained redactions at one point. Agreeing to all of those redactions would result in "a serious injustice to important moments in history that the American people need to know and understand," Esper wrote.
The suit itself says some stories Esper relates in the manuscript under consideration appeared to have been leaked to some mainstream media "possibly to undermine the impact" it would have had in his book.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the department was aware of Esper's concerns. "As with all such reviews, the Department takes seriously its obligation to balance national security with an author's narrative desire. Given that this matter is now under litigation, we will refrain from commenting further," he said in a statement.
Esper, 57, a West Point graduate and Gulf War veteran, said in a statement that he had waited for six months for the review process to play out but found "my unclassified manuscript arbitrarily redacted without clearly being told why."
"I am more than disappointed the current Administration is infringing on my First Amendment constitutional rights. And it is with regret that legal recourse is the only path now available for me to tell my full story to the American people," he said.

Taiwan Sends Jets After 27 Chinese Planes Enter Buffer Zone
TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwan said 27 Chinese aircraft entered its air defense buffer zone on Sunday, the latest in a long series of incursions as part of Beijing's pressure on the self-ruled island.
The Defense Ministry said Taiwan scrambled combat aircraft to “warn” the Chinese planes to leave. It also deployed missile systems to monitor them.
Sunday’s incursion included 18 fighter jets and five H-6 bombers, as well as a Y-20 aerial refueling aircraft, according to Taiwan’s Defense Ministry.
The Chinese aircraft flew into Taiwan’s air defense identification zone near the southern part of the island and out into the Pacific Ocean before returning to China, according to a map by Taiwan authorities.
Over the past year, the frequency of Chinese incursions has increased, with about 150 aircraft over a period of four days.
China’s air force mission toward Taiwan came as Chinese President Xi Jinping met with officers at a military conference, where he called for military talent cultivation to support and strengthen the armed forces, according to state-owned news agency Xinhua.
Xi said that talent is imperative in achieving victory in military competition and gaining the upper hand in future wars, according to Xinhua.
China claims democratically ruled Taiwan as its own territory, to be brought under its control by force if necessary. It refuses to recognize the island’s government and has increasingly sought to isolate the independence-leaning administration of President Tsai Ing-wen.
Taiwan and China split during a civil war in 1949, and Beijing opposes Taiwan’s involvement in international organizations.

US Navy Destroyer Makes Rare Port Call in New ZealandHmmm
A U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer arrived Friday in Wellington, New Zealand,a rare visit by an American warship to the nuclear-free nationthat has closed its borders to most of the world during the coronavirus pandemic.
A Navy statement described the visit by the USS Howard as an indication of the depth of the relationship between New Zealand and the U.S. The Navy embargoed its statement until the Howard, an Arleigh-Burke-class destroyer based at Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan, had arrived Down Under.
“The U.S. Navy along with its network of alliances and partners plays a key role in the security of global trade routes and freedom of navigation and maintaining global access for our Navy is central to that role,” Task Force 71, Destroyer Squadron 15, said in the statement.
New Zealand froze most port calls by U.S. Navy ships in 1985. The U.S. the following year suspended its ANZUS treaty obligations to New Zealand, which had declared itself nuclear-free.
The declaration meant no port-calls for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers or submarines or warships that might be carrying nuclear weapons.
In September, New Zealand PrimeMinister Jacinda Ardern saidnuclear-powered submarines that Australia will acquire under AUKUS, the new defense pact between Australia the United Kingdom and the U.S.,won’t be welcome in her country’s waters. Kek
The Howard’s visit is the first by a U.S. warship to the country since the guided-missile destroyer USS Sampson headed south in 2016. During that trip the Sampson helped New Zealand authorities respond to a magnitude 7.5 earthquake that struck the country’s South Island.
The Howard is in New Zealand for a standard port visit and to consult on cooperative exercises, according to the Navy’s statement.
Sailors have taken measures to mitigate and operate amid the coronavirus epidemic and will be granted liberty in Wellington, the statement said.
The U.S. sailors are visiting the South Pacific nation before many of its own citizens, who have been left stranded overseas by pandemic border restrictions that are scheduled to end early next year.
“I’m excited to be immersed in and experience a different culture as well as explore this beautiful country,” one of the Howard’s crew, Ensign Kathryn Cole, said Thursday in an email to Stars and Stripes.
On its way to Wellington the Howard was replenished at sea by the Royal New Zealand Navy’s HMNZS Aotearoa replenishment oiler, Cmdr. Travis Montplaisir, the Howard’s commander, said Thursday in an email to Stars and Stripes.
“We’re sharper and more focused thanks to events like this that bring us in close cooperation with New Zealand, allowing for greater collective capability across a variety of maritime operations,” he said.
The Howard’s crew is excited to visit New Zealand and proud to represent the U.S. Navy as they build their relationship and deepen friendship in the country, Montplaisir said.
The Howard will take part in a range of activities with the New Zealand Defence force, including training, the statement said.
“As the Royal New Zealand Navy celebrates their 80th anniversary this year, we’re pleased to help them mark the occasion and look forward to a successful visit that ensures continued opportunities for cooperation,” Montplaisir said.
