Mr. Pecora wrote "GUARDIAN - Life in the Crosshairs of the CIA's War on Terror" which is a historical memoir chronicling his 24 years in the CIA in protective operations, counter-terrorism and security working in some of the worst terrorist hotbeds in the world.
It took more than 3 years to get this book thru the CIA's Publication Review Board, and it contains stories never before shared with the public about the work of the Protective Operations Cadre and other security professionals who protect CIA personnel in the harshest locations on earth.
“GUARDIAN” is the pre-qual to the "13 Hours" movie by Michael Bay, and book about the CIA security officers in Benghazi who saved the State Department personnel. This unit was never acknowledged until after Benghazi and boasts an incredible record of keeping CIA personnel safe.
