Review:

UNABOMBER is a fascinating inside account of how tenacious FBI agents solved one of the biggest cases in the history of the bureau. As spine-tingling as any thriller, the book candidly lays out the FBI's missteps in pursuing the case initially, and masterfully shoes how the good guys battled the bureaucracy and used their wits to finaly bring an end to the terror that swept the nation. --Ronald Kessler, author "The Secrets of the FBI" and "In the President's Secret Service"

UNABOMBER offers a unique window into the inner workings of the Bureau and a rare inside look at what may be the most complex criminal investigation in U.S. history. --Maryanne Vollers, author of "Lone Wolf --Eric Rudolph:Murder, Myth and the Pursuit of an American Outlaw"
