An unprecedented, raw, first-hand look into the life of America's
private paramilitary warriors and their highly secretive work
around the world. Jamie Smith, a contractor with more than two
decades under his belt, has planned and executed hundreds of
missions on behalf of government agencies and private industry in
some of the world's most dangerous hot spots.They are elite
warriors who run highly dangerous missions deep inside foreign
countries on the brink of war. Jamie Smith knows these men well.
Not only is he one of them, but he cofounded one of the most
successful private contracting multinational firms in the world.
For the first time, he breaks his silence, detailing the ultimate
danger and risk of paramilitary operations--both officially
government-sanctioned and not. Pulling back the curtain of secrecy,
he reveals in very intimate terms exactly what private soldiers do
when the government cannot act or take public
responsibility.Combining the thrilling narrative of a riveting
international spy thriller with boots-on-the-ground realism, Gray
Work follows Smith through his CIA training and career as an
operative, his co-founding of and eventual exit from Blackwater,
and his creation and direction of his own company. Espionage and
assassinations, rescues and renditions, the turbulence of the Arab
Spring, the fall of Qadhaffi, the grit and gristle are all here in
covert black ops from Syria to Libya, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq and
beyond.As the founder and director of Blackwater, Smith's initial
vision has undeniably shaped and transformed a decade of war. He
argues that this gray area--and the warriors who occupy the
controversial space between public and private--has become an
integral element of modern warfare.
