Craig's Biography

Craig Robert Gralley spent his career at the Central Intelligence Agency as an analyst, manager, and chief speechwriter for three directors. Craig, a  member of CIA's senior intelligence service, also served as a writer and consultant on the Agency's History Staff. He graduated from Allegheny College and holds advanced degrees from Georgetown University (government), and Johns Hopkins (writing).

Craig is now a freelance writer whose work appears in national newspapers, magazines, and literary journals. His two previous books on WWII and Cold War espionage earned wide acclaim — and led to interviews on NPR's Morning Edition and consulting work on the film A Call to Spy.

Craig lives in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina, in the shadow of the Blue Ridge mountains he writes about. He travels adventurously with his wife Janet and stays closely connected to their son Will, a business owner and professional DJ in Washington, D.C.
