Please note (3/7/11):  We have reached a comfortable level of inventory and are not in need of further book donations at this time.  Once again we would like to take an opportunity to thank our donors for their generosity!!

With the blessings of #1 NY Times Bestselling author Brad Thor, The Harvath Directive was created in 2007 by a former Armed Services member. It is so titled in honor of the main character of Mr. Thor's novels – Scot Harvath. The Harvath Directive was established with one purpose in mind: supporting our American warriors abroad fighting for our way of life and freedom. Its intention is to show our appreciation for their immense sacrifice. To liven their day with a book and spread the joy of reading. With our soldiers in mind, it's our way of showing that we care and we support them.

What do we do?

We collect books: hardbacks, paperbacks and audiobooks to send to our troops abroad on the front lines and to those injured and in military hospitals.

To date over 2,500 donated books have been sent to our troops abroad - both on the front lines and in military hospitals - to places like Afghanistan, Germany and Iraq. As well as Fort Knox, KY and  Walter Reed Medical Center here in the US.

Where do they go?

Military Medical Centers: Hardcovers and audiobooks (for those troops unable to read due to injuries) are sent to military medical centers here in the USA and abroad to be given to our wounded soldiers to enjoy during their hospital stay. Paperback books are also sent to those medical centers that have libraries.

Individual Armed Services Personnel and Bases Overseas: Paperbacks are sent to the front lines to various military libraries as well as to individual soldiers.

Thank You

Thank you very much for your support. We truly hope to turn this into a positive means to help our troops forget about their trials and tribulations for just a few moments. To transport them on an awesome adventure by exposing them to the novels of Brad Thor and other top-notch authors.

Once again, we would like to thank Brad Thor for his continued support.   Not only is he a fantastic and talented writer, he is a true patriot and a gentleman.  Brad, you are the best!
