About this ebook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I dreamed of becoming a spy as a young boy. I wrote a handwritten letter to the CIA, explaining my desire to serve, and they responded by sending me a single-page typewritten letter on official CIA stationery with a logo of an eagle’s head over a multistarred compass.

#2 I had always wanted to serve my country in times of great need, and I did that when I was in the CIA. I had never dreamed about the sorrow and bitter anger of a 9/11 catastrophe or losing men, foreign agents, and CIA officers who were under my command.

#3 I had a fascination with American heroes as a child, and I would re-fight the battles of America’s wars in the fields and woods behind my house. I read books about the history of warfare, and I read The Craft of Intelligence, by Allen Dulles.

#4 I grew up in a family of service. My father was a noncommissioned officer in the 101st Airborne for a couple of years. His four older brothers had all fought in World War II. All four of his paternal great-great-grandfathers fought in the Confederate States Army at the Battle of Peachtree Creek outside of Atlanta.
