The story of the young CIA operative who helped launch the Contra War in Nicaragua. Ric Prado joins HBH and tells of his first mission in the CIA. 

Long before the US operations in Central America became public, he was embedded in supporting the Nicaraguan Contras. With very little experience at the time, Ric found himself alongside brave local rebels at the tip of the spear.

That was just the beginning of Ric’s decorated career in the Central Intelligence Agency. He went on to receive multiple medals as a case officer and high ranking official. His new book ‘Black Ops: The Life of a CIA Shadow Warrior’ is available now.
