Matt Mackowiak's Mack On Politics

Brad Thor is the guest for the 140th episode. He is a New York Times bestselling author of thrillers who has sold more than 15 million books. His newest book, “Backlash”, will be released on June 25. In this conversation, we discuss what he tries to do in each of his books, how this book looks at cold weather survival tactics, how training is integral to his characters, how common ‘snatch and grab’ operations are, how private intelligence companies operate, how he’s cooperated with the U.S. government, whether operatives like Scot Harvath really exist, how he learned enough about Russia, whether his books will be made into films, and what his writing process is.
