Black Ops | The Life Of A CIA Shadow Warrior

After finding himself in the middle of a firefight at the age of seven, Enrique “Ric” Prado and his middle-class family fled the horrors of the Cuban Revolution with the hope of finding a better life in America.

Prado eventually embarked on a 24-year career with the Central Intelligence Agency, and Black Ops allows readers to follow along as he moves from duty stations in Central and South America all the way to the highest levels of CIA headquarters in Langley, Va.

After having played a pivotal role during the Cold War and the War on Terror, Prado has been awarded the CIA’s Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal, the agency’s highest award given upon retirement, as well as the George H.W. Bush Award for Excellence in Counterterrorism.

The suggested retail price is $30. For more information, please visit us.macmillan.com.
