Rodney Walker has taught high school Social Studies in the U.S for over ten years. Some of his most inspired work comes from the lives of his own students. He is also an adjunct professor of Political Science and Middle Eastern studies. As a veteran of the U.S Air force, he served two tours of duty; Comiso Air Station in Sicily and RAF Alconbury in the United Kingdom. Walker specializes in historic novels and has had his first historical novel, Destiny’s Spear, represented at the London Book Fair. He attended Briar Cliff University in Sioux City, Iowa where he obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication and contributed to the campus newspaper as a staff member specializing in news features. He interned in London with the BBC for a local radio program entitled “Black Londoners” and later attended Troy University where he attained an MS in International Relations. Walker spent several years living in North Africa where he taught English and researched “Operation Torch”, the first amphibious landing of World War II employing Navy Scout and Raider units, forerunners to the Navy SEALS, in their first underwater mission. He is currently working on the biography of the first African American Navy Seal. Some of his latest achievements include producing a cable television program entitled “God’s Grace on the Battlefield” featuring the personal testimonies of combat veterans who attributed their survival to miraculous events. His latest work "Five Letters from Prison that have Changed the World" was just released in April and is his first non-fiction work. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
