Marine Corps veteran and author Elliot Ackerman shares his story of resilience. Ackerman fought in the second Battle of Fallujah as a US Marine, and after leaving the military went on to become a successful author. He reflects on how he has used resilience tools throughout his career and life.
The Profiles in Resilience series, produced by the Atlantic Council's Adrienne Arsht National Security Resilience Initiative (AANSRI), spotlights individuals in the national security community who have faced significant hardships or experienced especially challenging circumstances in the course of their work, and, importantly, what lessons in resilience they can draw from those experiences.
