Jose A. Rodriguez, Jr. joined the Central Intelligence
Agency in 1976 and served with the Agency for thirty-one years. At
the time of his retirement he was the Director of the National
Clandestine Service for the CIA, responsible for the coordination
of clandestine human operations for the intelligence community. As
a former Director of the Counterterrorism Center, he led the
worldwide intelligence collection programs and covert action
operations against international terrorist organizations following
the ouster of terrorists from Afghanistan after the 9/11
attacks.
Bill Harlow is the former chief spokesman for the Central
Intelligence Agency. He was the coauthor of former CIA director
George Tenet’s #1 New York Times bestseller, At the Center of the
Storm, published in 2007. He is a retired Naval Officer who served
in top spokesman jobs at the White House, Pentagon, and CIA.
"Jose Rodriguez guided some of the CIA's greatest counterterror
victories, and his story is one of courage, commitment, and
decisiveness. In this book, he provides concrete details about the
value of the Agency's interrogation program of terrorists -- a
program which thwarted terrorist attacks and has made America
safer." -- General Michael V. Hayden, USAF (Ret.) Former Director
of Central Intelligence
"Courageous CIA officers putting themselves in harm's way to
protect the nation from ruthless terrorists – only to find they are
undercut and second-guessed by posturing politicians. That's not
the plot of some new novel—but the real-life story of Jose
Rodriguez. In Hard Measures he offers a fascinating glimpse into
the lives of the men and women who stopped al Qa'ida's second-wave
of attacks and the price they paid for doing so."
*--Vince Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Kill Shot*
