Steve Herman, author of Behind the White House Curtain, is back to tell the tale of the time the Trump administration tried to seize editorial control of the Voice of America and turn it into a propaganda agency.

What are the risks to those, like Steve, who resisted the takeover? See also a review of his book in June's Foreign Service Journal.
