Who is HR McMaster, Trump's new national security adviser?
Donald Trump's new national security advisor has been appointed in the shadow of a controversy after his predecessor lasted just three weeks in the job.
The choice has been well-received by both analysts and politicians - even some, like Senator John McCain, who have been critical of many of President Trump's decisions.
But who is Herbert Raymond McMaster?
A student of history
Lieutenant General HR McMaster is a decorated military official, having served in command positions during the Gulf War in the early 1990s and with the Central Command during the Iraq war in the early 2000s.
He was awarded the silver star for valour for his actions. In Afghanistan, he headed an anti-corruption and transparency task force.
But he is also known for his academic interest in history - and applying that intellectual approach to the battlefield.
