Autorenporträt
Colonel Paul Barber served for several years as a Team Chief in the National Military Command Center, responsible for Crisis Management for the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; an environment where interaction with the White House, State Department, Intelligence Agencies and other governmental entities was a daily occurrence. In a subsequent assignment to the U.S. State Department, Barber served as Senior Military Representative for Crisis Management, representing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs in providing critical expertise and support to the Secretary of State.During a military assignment to North Africa, Barber lived and worked among the Moroccan people where he gained valuable knowledge and understanding of Muslims, their religion, customs, and value system. His later in-depth study of Islamic terrorism instilled another level of understanding of the Muslim people. The author's total life experiences have enabled him to present, in "CrossHairs," a scenario of realism that is not only comprehensible and conceivable in America today, but also predictable. Colonel Barber, a 27-year Air Force veteran, commanded a flying unit during the Vietnam War, completing over 200 combat support missions. He stood cockpit Alert during the Cuban Missile Crisis and flew over 3,500 hours during the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Barber holds both Bachelor and Master's Degrees and is a graduate of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. He is a retired financial advisor now living near his family in East Texas.
