Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The American intelligence machine, which is what the United States has become since the September 11, 2001 attacks, has a prisoner collection operation with tiered prisoner-handling capacities. Prisoners wind their way from the front to collection sites and eventually to prisoner holding cages in the rear.

#2 I spent three and a half years training American Special Forces soldiers how to resist interrogation. I learned how to read body language and how to teach the techniques of interrogations. I saw the same relationship between using these techniques in war and in my daily life.

#3 The history of interrogation is the history of how people have tried to understand the psychology of why people talk, when they talk, and how they talk. This has led to the development of the science of interrogation.

#4 The tools of interrogation that I’ve used with prisoners have value in your everyday life because you have a lot in common with a prisoner of war. You have a box inside you that makes you who you are, and there are many forces at work that could potentially destroy what’s inside it.

I was assigned to the Special Warfare Center at Fort Bragg, where I learned how to read body language and teach the techniques of interrogations. I saw the same relationship between using these techniques in war and applying them in my daily life.
