He also traveled on this particular trip with a professor from the Washington-based Institute of World Politics. The professor, Michael Waller, had met Prince years earlier through Representative Dana Rohrabacher. In the days after the Nisoor Square incident, Waller had approached Prince with a proposal: Prince should write a book. He would ghostwrite it for him. Waller also served as an editor for an online publication called Serviam. He was very industry-friendly and eager to work with Prince.
