Henry Crumpton
Ambassador Henry Crumpton is a renowned counter terrorism expert, and is truly revered as a legend in the world of international intelligence and espionage. For a crucial period, he led the CIA's global covert operations against America's terrorist enemies, including al Qaeda. His new bestselling book, The Art of Intelligence, draws from the full arc of Crumpton's espionage and covert action exploits to explain what America's spies do and why their service is more valuable than ever. From his early years in Africa, where he recruited and ran sources, from loathsome criminals to heroic warriors; to his liaison assignment at the FBI, the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, the development of the UAV Predator program, and the Afghanistan war; to his later work running all CIA clandestine operations inside the United States, he employs enthralling storytelling to teach important lessons about national security, but also about duty, honor, and love of country.
