Download Gray Work: Confessions of an American Paramilitary Spy AudioBook Free
In this particular unprecedented audiobook, a paramilitary contractor with more than 2 decades of experience provides us a firsthand look into the magic formula lives of America's private warriors and their highly covert work around the world. Author Jamie Smith has designed and executed a huge selection of missions on behalf of government companies and private industry in a few of the world's most dangerous hot spots - and resided to see the tale. They are elite warriors who run highly dangerous missions deep inside international countries on the brink of conflict. Jamie Smith is aware these men well. Not merely is he one of them, but he was the founding director of one of the very most successful global, private military contracting companies. For the first time, he breaks his silence, tugging back the curtain to reveal in raw, intimate terms exactly what paramilitary spies and operators like him do when the government cannot respond or take general population responsibility. Combining the exciting narrative of a global spy thriller with bracing boots-on-the-ground realism, Grey Work employs Smith through grinding CIA training and his profession as an operative, his work with Blackwater Security, and the creation of his own successful company. This is actually the grit and gristle of modern warfare, from espionage and assassinations, rescues and renditions; from the dark corners of the Arab Springtime and the fall of Qadhafi to dark ops; from Syria to Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and beyond. Smith has fought terrorists and gained; he was ambushed on a mission in Pakistan and needed a bullet through his shoulder and also to his rear and consequently survived a grueling pile trek that almost cost him his life. As founding director of Blackwater Security and then as mind of his own company, Smith has helped shape ten years of war. His publication powerfully illustrates the way the men who serve in this gray area between the general public and private worlds are changing the artwork and knowledge of modern warfare.
