7: Consequences An Intelligence Officer's War - Interview With David Grantham

Publishing Distribution — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 07:09:49 +0000

In this episode we speak David Grantham PHD.

In 2006, David Grantham was fresh out of college and serving as a counterintelligence officer with the elite and secretive Air Force Office of Special Investigations. Iraq was veering toward civil war. The U.S. military desperately needed better on-the-ground intelligence to turn the tide. Grantham found himself in Kuwait and Afghanistan, then at Iraq’s infamous American prison, Camp Bucca. Not only was Bucca the breeding ground for the Islamic State, it was in southern Iraq, where America’s deadly fight with Iran was an open secret.

Consequences is both a riveting behind-the-scenes look at intelligence operations at the height of the Iraq war, and a charming and sobering story of one man’s journey through the pleasures and consequences that come with wartime intelligence.

Dr. Grantham talks to us about his back ground, shares experiences, analyzes the process of writing his book and offers great advice to new authors.
