"If you want to know what made the clandestine service at CIA work during our time at the agency then read this book. Knowing that I had Kassinger backing me up alleviated most of the concerns I had of taking on a dangerous operational assignment."

"Holding Hands with Heroes is a compelling story of one man's dedicated and selfless service to the Marine Corps and to his Country. As a U.S. Marine recruit, Jack Kassinger learned self-discipline, self-confidence, and pride, personal traits that, if not allowed to atrophy, will ensure success in life no matter the field you decide to plow and hoe. From Corps to CIA to the present, his rows are straight and clear. You will enjoy this book!"
