On the latest episode of the Eye on Veterans podcast, 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, Connecting Vets' journalist and author Jack Murphy, who takes a deep dive into historical events that have never before been written about.
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!

We also revisit our conversation with covert DoD Task Force and Special Operations veteran Adam Gamal, who authored “The Unit: My Life Fighting Terrorists as One of America's Most Secret Military Operatives." (Check out full episode with Gamal on the player below.)
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.

Finally, we talk with Brad Taylor, a former commander of the Army’s elite team Delta Force. 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, and insight into Putin's regime and terror groups that really exist in today’s modern world.
