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' magazine.
