Jack Steele survived the First Gulf War, Bosnia, and his years as a UN peacekeeper. As a British Army captain and tank commander, he witnessed the brutal realities of modern conflict. Fluent in Russian, German, French, and Bosnian, Steele has spent his life navigating the dangerous fault lines between East and West.
That’s why they sent him.
