One of America's most experienced agents offers a glimpse inside the shadowy world of counterrorism to reveal life on the frontlines of America's War on Terror, detailing his experiences with the Diplomatic Security Service in every area of the world, including his investigations into the Atlanta Olympic bombing, Timothy McVeigh, and Ramzi Yousef, the first World Trade Center bomber. Simultaneous. - EBSCOhost
In this globe-trotting account of one leading counterterrorism agent's life and career, Burton, as a member of an elite secret counter-terrorist division, tells how he was plunged into a murky world of violent religious extremism, one that would take him from the streets of Middle Eastern cities to the informant-filled alleys of American slums. Told in compelling first-person, here, too, is Burton's advice on personal safety for today's most powerful CEOs, gleaned from his experience at Stratfor, the private firm Barron's calls the shadow CIA.
