Black ops : the life of a CIA shadow warrior / Ric Prado, CIA Counterterrorist Chief of Operations (Ret.).

Prado, Ric, (author,, narrator.). Brick, Scott, (narrator.). Macmillan Audio (Firm) (Added Author). Playaway Digital Audio. (Added Author). Findaway World, LLC. (Added Author).

Summary:
"Enrique 'Ric' Prado found himself in his first firefight at age seven. The son of a middle-class Cuban family caught in the midst of the Castro Revolution, Ric fled his war-torn home with his family in the hope of a better life in America. Fifty years later, the Cuban refugee retired from the Central Intelligence Agency as the CIA equivalent of a two-star general. Black Ops is the story of Ric's legendary career that spanned two eras--the Cold War and the Age of Terrorism. Operating in the shadows, Ric and his fellow CIA officers fought a little-seen and virtually unknown war to keep the United States safe from those who would do it harm. Black Ops follows Ric from duty stations in both Central and South America, as well as the Philippines, into the highest echelons of the CIA's headquarters at Langley, Virginia. In late 1995, he became Deputy Chief of Station and cofounding member of the Bin Laden Task Force. Three years later, after serving as head of Korean Operations, Ric took on one of the most dangerous missions of his career: reestablish a once-abandoned CIA station inside a hostile nation long considered a front line in the fight against Islamic terrorism. He and his team carried out covert operations and developed assets that proved pivotal in the coming War on Terror."-- Provided by publisher.
