Alec Birri draws inspiration from his thirty years of service in the UK Armed Forces. His novels are rooted in his experience commanding an operational unit that experimented with top-secret military capabilities. While semi-autobiographical, he fictionalizes events and individuals for national security and personal liberty reasons, ensuring the narratives remain authentic to his experiences.
