Welcome to Forward with Derek Herrera. Today we talk with Elliot Ackerman. Elliot is a former marine officer and served as a Marine raider before transitioning to the CIA. He is an award winning author of many works including his new book 2034:A Novel of the Next World War. We talk about his days in the Marine Corp and the founding days of the Marine Special Operations command, what it was like to transition to the CIA, and when he decided to leave that position to become an author.
