"In this suspense-filled thriller, the man who ran the closing phases of the Afghan war for the Agency takes his readers on a stunning voyage of discovery through that clandestine world, from Kabul to Hong Kong and the Moscow of the Evil Empire."--Larry Collins, co-author of Is Paris Burning? Set in the treacherous mountains of Afghanistan and the equally hazardous headquarters of the CIA Operations Directorate in Washington, The Black Tulip is a fast-paced thriller, based on real events, by the legendary spy who masterminded the plot to arm Afghan freedom fighters in their holy war against the Soviets. A longtime veteran of the CIA, Bearden knows the tricks of the trade, the price of honor, the bonds of blood, and the enduring lure of retribution. Praise for The Black Tulip "An irresistible page-turner . . . especially vivid because we know the author was a witness to events."--The Wall Street Journal "Milt Bearden really delivers. With thirty years in the CIA to back it up, he knows what he's talking about. . . . A terrific book."--Robert De Niro"A heart-stopping tale of espionage and betrayal. Forget Tom Clancy: this is the real thing."--Richard Holbrooke "A truly engrossing espionage read . . . Bearden explains how the CIA supplied Afghan guerrillas with the hardware--rockets, Stinger surface-to-air missiles, and night-vision equipment--which enabled them to chew a vastly stronger Soviet force to bloody ribbons. . . . Highly recommended."--The Washington Times

Great fit without feeling stiff
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 34W x 30L
I ordered the 32x32 and the fit was exactly what I expected. The slim fit cut looks clean without being too tight through the thighs or calves, and the expandable waistband is honestly one of the best parts. It gives a little extra room when sitting or moving around, but it doesn’t look bulky or obvious like some stretch waist dress pants do. The material feels lightweight and breathable with a little stretch, so they stay comfortable even after wearing them all day.
The quality surprised me for the price. The stitching looked clean, the zipper worked smoothly, and the fabric had a nicer appearance than I expected straight out of the package. They also matched the listing photos well and didn’t have that cheap shiny look some dress pants have. I wore them with a dress shirt for work, but they could easily work with a polo or sweater too. The wrinkle resistance is decent and they held their shape well after sitting for long periods. For the money, these feel like a really solid value and I’d buy another pair in a different color.

Clean Look with Comfortable Fit
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 34W x 30L
These pants strike a nice balance between formal and comfortable. The slim fit gives them a modern look without being overly tight, and the expandable waist adds a level of comfort that’s noticeable throughout the day.
The fabric feels decent for the price point, and they hold their shape well enough for work or events.
They’re versatile enough to dress up or down depending on what you pair them with.

Great value for a one-time event! Perfect for graduation.
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
I bought this suit for my son's graduation, and it was exactly what we needed. Since he will probably only wear it once, I didn't want to spend a fortune at a high-end department store. For the price, the quality is surprisingly good; it looked sharp and he received a lot of compliments during the ceremony. We ordered a size Large (L) based on their sizing chart, and it was true to size and fit him perfectly. The fabric is lightweight but doesn't look cheap at all, making this a fantastic, excellent cost-benefit choice if you are looking for an option for a one-time event. Highly recommended!
