About the episode
On this episode we talk with best-selling veteran authors about their fascinating books. We start with a brand-new release, “We Defy: The Lost Chapters of Special Forces History” from Special Forces veteran, journalist and author Jack Murphy, who takes a deep dive into historical events that have never been written about before. Murphy describes his interviews with veterans who conducted ops you'll never read about in the history books ... like the time a team parachuted into position with a nuclear bomb in a backpack!

(See Eye on Veterans March 29 episode). This personal memoir recounts his time on the military’s most covert unit … a team so classified that even its actual name cannot be released. Comprised of elite Special Operations soldiers, deep cover Intelligence assets and others with unique skills, The Unit, offers us a rare glimpse at what it takes to fight terrorists around the world.

Now a best-selling, action-adventure novelist, he describes his latest book “Dead Man’s Hand”. Although this story of a pending nuclear attack by Russia is fictional, Taylor’s exceptional writing fuses together historical events, insight into Putin's regime and terror groups that really exist in today’s modern world.
