His career includes starting six magazines, being editor-in-chief of five in-flight magazines, and director of communications for AAA Colorado. He is also the author of Behind the Lines (Milbrown Press, 2014), which detailed the chaotic beginnings of WWI Belgium food relief and was included in Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2014. Jeffrey's latest book WWI Crusaders - set for release 11/11/18 - the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I (and Veteran's Day) - describes the incredible heroism of the American-led Commission for Relief in Belgium. For nearly 10 million Belgians and Northern French facing imminent starvation behind German lines in World War I, the CRB was life-saving. With the indomitable help of young, idealistic Americans, the CRB was responsible for initiating, organizing, and supervising the largest food relief the world had ever seen. WWI Crusaders will be available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and wherever books are sold beginning November 11, 2018. Learn more about Miller's work at wwicrusaders.com.
