Why use parenthesis if this is a direct statement written by Flynn? This is an editing move at the best and an attempt to distort the statement at the worst, if in fact, is from the General at all...
The intent was not to compose an international bestseller; however, "when this must read story is told in full," the story will reveal a vital piece of American history (and will be a bestseller).
Yours appears to be a misinterpretation of the message.
But on the other hand, the statement could be construed as,"I believe the author never intended for this to be the international best seller that it will be, but instead a story that will be means to an end yada yada".
This is a case of poor writing in general (pardon the pun) it never really makes clear the message the writer was trying to convey,..
Which brings me back to my original thought, how do we even know if this is an actual quote from General Mick Flynn?
I agree that your statement implying poor marks in grade school English applies on many levels here...
