LONG BEACH, CA, September 28, 2010 (Press-News.org) Marcus Hardie was born and raised by his grandmother in a poor neighborhood on the outskirts of Los Angeles, a black youth stuck in the urban ghetto. He survived the ghetto and graduated from college and law school, Mark Hardie seemed destined for a future far from the violent surroundings of his childhood, an upbringing filled with urban gang warfare. He showed promise in California's political scene, rising to an important position in the governor's office. No one would have imagined, though, that he would soon become an elite anti-terror operative in one of the most violent places in the world: the Middle East.
"Every so often someone writes a memoir that is so unique, so compelling...His experiences in the Israeli elite anti-terrorism unit are worth reading as is the entire book. This is proof that real faith is colorblind."- columnist/commentator Alan Caruba
