On today's show...
Elliot Ackerman is a New York Times bestselling author. He is also a journalist and a Marine veteran who served for five tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He is a prolific author of both fiction and nonfiction. His latest book is "Sheepdogs."
It's a heist thriller about secrets and spies, military culture and betrayal. It's thrilling, but also funny, because as Ackerman says, "War is too serious to take it seriously all the time."
Ackerman joined Lori Walsh at the South Dakota Festival of Books last week.
