Black Ops: The Life of a CIA Shadow Warrior
Throughout his twenty-four-year career with the Central Intelligence Agency, Ric Prado has received numerous honors, including the CIA's Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal (the highest award given upon retirement) and the George H. W. Bush Award for Excellence in Counterterrorism, among others.
Black Ops: The Life of a CIA Shadow Warrior is a biography by America's highest-ranking covert warrior that lifts the curtain of secrecy and provides a glimpse at America's shadow warfare since the Vietnam War. It is also considered as one of the best books on terrorism.
At the age of seven, Enrique Prado was involved in his first firefight. His family fled their war-torn motherland for the prospect of a better life in America as the son of a middle-class Cuban family caught amid the Castro Revolution. The Cuban refugee resigned from the Central Intelligence Agency as the CIA's equivalent of a two-star general fifty years later. Ric's famous career, which spanned two eras, the Cold War and the Age of Terrorism, is chronicled in Black Ops. Ric and his fellow CIA officials fought a little-known and virtually unknown fight to protect the United States securely from those who would damage it.
Some reviews about this book: “Ric Prado is an American original, a shadow warrior whose combat and street skills actually live up to Hollywood's spy movie fantasies. Any story of his life and his C.I.A. career will stand out in the genre of such memoirs and biographies, not only because of Ric's outsized experiences, but because his adventurous work included some of the most important covert actions in recent Agency history.”
