“The Unit” by Adam Gamal, Kelly Kennedy: Inside the most secret anti-terror team

Today we’re hearing from a kind of military vet so rare, most people will never meet one.

Adam Gamal, an Egyptian, Muslim immigrant, served on the most classified anti-terrorism unit in America. We hear about his fascinating life as we discuss his new book “The Unit: My life fighting terrorists as one of America’s most secret military operatives.”

From his life in Egypt, to the twisted ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, we follow Adam’s journey to NYC. And his path to the Army.

Adam shares vivid details about his undercover missions, how he figured out where Saddam Hussein was hiding, and the ways our counter insurgent strategy actually broke Iraq beyond repair. 

He also recalls tracking the major source of terrorism to Africa, how he survived being shot at point blank range, and examines how Islam was hijacked by hate … and if there is truly anything we can do to stop it.
