From the Mud to the Mire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781496920980)

From the Mud to the Mire is a chronicle of the life of John R. (Jack) Harney. Mr. Harney has been, at times, a student/athlete, scholar, soldier, and public servant, as well as a loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His autobiography tells the story of his early family life, to his (interrupted) college years at Harvard, his adventures in the U.S. Army during World War II in the European Theater, to his career in the intelligence community. His career with the National Security Agency included two tours in Germany and two tours at the Pentagon, culminating with his final assignment as Assistant Director for Policy and Liaison. Included are his poignant recollections of war, and his thoughts about its impact on those who fight in it. Jack lives in Maryland with Betty, his wife of 63 years. His family includes three children, five grandchildren, two step-grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and five (soon to be six) step-great grandchildren.
