Erroll Southers, USC Price Professor of the Practice in National and Homeland Security and Associate Senior Vice President, Safety and Risk Assurance, has announced his new memoir, Inside the Castle Walls: An American Journey Through Espionage, Counterterrorism and Government.
After being profiled by police as a youngster, Erroll’s father offered a defining lesson: “You can’t change the castle from outside the moat.” What followed was a life of public service and a conviction to lead change from inside the castle walls.
“I poured my heart into sharing this story because of the wonderful people and exciting adventures I enjoyed at every stage of my career, albeit some of them classified and dangerous, and I can’t wait for you to experience them,” Southers said.
Arnold Schwarzenegger opens the book with a powerful and personal foreword, and legendary attorney Connie Rice called it, “A riveting ride behind the hunts for terrorists, spies and criminals, with a man holding extraordinary devotion to duty, Constitutional loyalty and unmovable moral conviction.”
