Beau Wise and Tom Sileo joined The Protectors to talk about their book THREE WISE MEN. We go into the background of the Wise brothers’ service, teaming up to write their story, and much more. Beau and Tom also talk a bit about reaching out to the SOF community to gather information for the book.
ABOUT THREE WISE MEN: From Beau Wise and Tom Sileo comes Three Wise Men, an incredible memoir of family, service and sacrifice by a Marine who lost both his brothers in combat--becoming the only "Sole Survivor" during the war in Afghanistan.
Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, three brothers by blood became brothers in arms when each volunteered to defend their country. No military family has sacrificed more during the ensuing war, which has become the longest ever fought by America’s armed forces.
While serving in Afghanistan, US Navy SEAL veteran and CIA contractor Jeremy Wise was killed in an al Qaeda suicide bombing that devastated the US intelligence community. Less than three years later, US Army Green Beret sniper Ben Wise was fatally wounded after volunteering for a dangerous assignment during a firefight with the Taliban. Ben was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, while Jeremy received the Intelligence Star—one of the rarest awards bestowed by the U.S. government—and also a star on the CIA’s Memorial Wall.
TOM SILEO: Tom Sileo is co-author of THREE WISE MEN, 8 SECONDS OF C
