BARRY EISLER LIVE on Authors on the Air. Whistleblowers, books and God's Eye.

Barry Eisler spent three years in a covert position with the CIA's Directorate of Operations, then worked as a technology lawyer and startup executive in Silicon Valley and Japan, earning his black belt at the Kodokan International Judo Center along the way. Eisler's bestselling thrillers have won the both the Barry Award and the Gumshoe Award for Best Thriller of the Year, have been included in numerous "Best Of" lists, and have been translayed into twenty languages. Eisler lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and, when he's not writing novels and blogs about torture, civil liberties, and the rule of law. Regarding his blog, Heart of the Matter, Barry states:  There are a lot of terrific blogs out there on the world of writing, but Heart of the Matter isn't one of them. HOTM primarily covers politics, language as it influences politics, and politics as an exercise in branding and marketing, with the occasional post on some miscellaneous subject that catches my attention. http://barryeisler.com.
