Nicholas Reynolds

Nicholas Reynolds, author of the New York Times bestseller Writer, Sailor, Soldier, Spy, has worked in the fields of modern intelligence and military history off and on for forty years, with some unusual detours. Freshly minted PhD from Oxford University in hand, he joined the United States Marine Corps in the 1970s, serving as an infantry officer and then as a historian. As a colonel in the reserves, he eventually became officer in charge of field history, deploying historians around the world to capture history as it was being made. For many years, he served as a CIA officer at home and abroad, immersing himself in the very human business of espionage and ultimately becoming a member of the senior executive service. More recently, he was the historian for the CIA Museum, responsible for developing its strategic plan and helping to turn remarkable artifacts into compelling stories. He has taught at the Naval War College, the DC campus of Johns Hopkins University, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. With his wife, Becky, he cares for rescue pugs.
