About the Guest
Captain Edward M. Brittingham, USN
(ret.) “was in the Air Force ROTC in college, made pilot, but dropped out in
his junior year. Drafted in 1962, he joined the Navy as a navigator (Naval
Aviation Observer) and then reported to NAS Norfolk, Virginia for submarine
training. He joined VP-10 and transitioned to the P-3A aircraft where
antisubmarine warfare became the primary mission. He moved up the ranks
ultimately to Commanding Officer of VP-11.”
Edward M. Brittingham is the author of The Iranian Deception; Sub Chaser;
Operation Poppy and Hard Facts: Terrorist Camps, the CIA, and the State of
Homeland Security.
According to the book description
of
Hard Facts: Terrorist Camps, the CIA, and the State of Homeland Security,
"The clues are as mystifying as they are terrifying: Off America s East
Coast a new generation of nuclear-armed Russian subs lie in wait for
devastating orders. At a clandestine base in Yemen, terrorists begin a
countdown for jihad. In South America a dictator secretly tries to acquire
super weapons from Russia and Iran. And suicide bombers may have managed the
unthinkable could they have smuggled WMDs into the US? Now it's a race against
time as the CIA, FBI, and Department of Defense hunt frantically for the
terrorists while trying to unravel the links behind a global conspiracy out to
destroy the United States.
It will be up to two heroic men to
save the nation. Agent John Casey, one of the CIA s most lethal covert
operatives in the war against terror, has been tapped for this most hazardous
mission: he will assume a false identity, infiltrate Al-Qaeda s most impenetrable
strongholds, then figure out a way to stop their plan for Armageddon. Fellow
CIA man Steve Graves must piece together the puzzling connections between
Venezuela s President Chavez, the Akula class subs that lurk in the Atlantic
just off New England, and the terrorists apocalyptic scheme."
