Oct. 11 2022

Marine Captain Elliot Ackerman (Ret.) served five tours of duty in Iraq where he fought in the second battle of Fallujah and Afghanistan, where he received the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for Valor, and the Purple Heart. He later became a CIA paramilitary officer and operated along the border of Pakistan.

Ackerman is now an award-winning author and just released his seventh book on the conclusion of the war in Afghanistan, The Fifth Act. The Fifth Act is an astonishing human document that brings the weight of twenty years of war to bear on a single week, the week the war ended.
