Our Author Series is back with David Austin, author of the Joe Matthews series including Drone Strike and Tehran's Vengeance. As we just wrapped up Protect & Defend, this interview is perfect timing because Dave talks about his experience in the CIA serving on the protection detail for former Directors of Central Intelligence. We pick his brain about what its like on the ground planning a mission abroad and whether the events of Kennedy's taking in Mosul could really happen.
