Following eight years as a criminal barrister in his home city of
Liverpool, Frank worked for a decade in the Balkans and throughout the
former Soviet Union in international human rights protection, criminal
law reform, and institution building at the highest levels of
government. He developed particular expertise in missing persons, human
trafficking, and torture prevention. He also served for a number of
years as a reserve officer with extensive operational experience
retiring as head of his service branch. Later he served as the first
‘Justice Advisor’ to the UK Mission in Helmand Province in 2007-2008 and
worked in a similar role at the UK Embassy in Libya during and after
the war there (2011-12). He has also worked in Ukraine during the
current war. He is the author of several books, including the
best-selling 'Losing Small Wars' (2017), which was selected as a 'Book
of the Year' by the Times and Amazon UK. His 'Aerial Warfare' book
(2018) was placed on the RAF 'Chief of Air Staff's Reading list' and was
shortlisted as 'Military book of the Year' by Military History Matters'
