Download or read book Spy Schools written by Daniel Golden and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Daniel Golden exposes how academia has become the center of foreign and domestic espionage—and why that is troubling news for our nation's security. Grounded in extensive research and reporting, Spy Schools reveals how academia has emerged as a frontline in the global spy game. In a knowledge-based economy, universities are repositories of valuable information and research, where brilliant minds of all nationalities mingle freely with few questions asked. Intelligence agencies have always recruited bright undergraduates, but now, in an era when espionage increasingly requires specialized scientific or technological expertise, they’re wooing higher-level academics—not just as analysts, but also for clandestine operations. Golden uncovers unbelievable campus activity—from the CIA placing agents undercover in Harvard Kennedy School classes and staging academic conferences to persuade Iranian nuclear scientists to defect, to a Chinese graduate student at Duke University stealing research for an invisibility cloak, and a tiny liberal arts college in Marietta, Ohio, exchanging faculty with China’s most notorious spy school. He shows how relentlessly and ruthlessly this practice has permeated our culture, not just inside the US, but internationally as well. Golden, acclaimed author of The Price of Admission, blows the lid off this secret culture of espionage and its consequences at home and abroad.

Book excerpt: HE WAS A FLASHY, HIGH-ROLLING CON MAN…A MILITANT STREET HUSTLER…A FRONT MAN FOR THE MOB… On TV and in the movies, FBI undercover agents are a dime a dozen. But in reality, only an elite handful have the unique combination of wit, instinct and daring to work these highly dangerous scams. For 10 years, Larry Wansley was one of them. A former detective bureau commander with the Compton, California, police department, Wansley graduated from the FBI Academy in 1973. After nabbing a Texas bank robber, he went underground in Los Angeles as part of the bureau’s massive search for Patty Hearst. Then came the big sting: Operation Tarpit with another agent to play his high-living partner in crime—and the unwitting help of two talkative hookers—Wansley, called “Mandrake” by his fellow agents, set up a two-year, L.A.-based operation that netted 300 phony stock and bond dealers, truck hijackers, kidnappers, gun-runners, and killers, and recovered $42 million in stolen property. From there, Wansley moved coast-to-coast, working his scams on redneck southern crime bosses, kiddie porn producers, New York Mafia wiseguys, and more—and living each day with the heart-stopping knowledge that one wrong move meant death…

Book excerpt: In Betrayal, renowned FBI agent Robert Fitzpatrick partners with USA Today bestselling author Jon Land to present the true story of the lawman’s pursuit of James “Whitey” Bulger, Jr., the notorious crimelord of Boston, Massachusetts’s Winter Hill Gang. The Jack Nicholson film The Departed didn’t tell half of their story. A poor kid from the slums, Robert Fitzpatrick grew up to become a stellar FBI agent and challenge the country’s deadliest gangsters. Relentless in his desire to catch, prosecute, and convict Whitey Bulger, Fitzpatrick fought the nation’s most determined cop-gangster battle since Melvin Purvis hunted, confronted, and killed John Dillinger. In his crusade to bring Bulger to justice, Fitzpatrick faced not only Whitey but also corrupt FBI agents, along with political cronies and enablers from Boston to Washington who, in one way or another, blocked his efforts at every step. Even when Fitzpatrick discovered the very organization to which he had sworn allegiance was his biggest obstacle, the agent continued to pursue Whitey and his gang . . . knowing that they were prepared to murder anyone who got in their way.

Download or read book Agent 2 Inmate written by Thomas William Thorndike and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story that reveals firsthand the Federal Justice Department's tricks and corrupt practices to indict and imprison anyone who may fall in their sights. Guilty or innocent, it makes no difference to them. Like police issuing speeding tickets, they ignore the facts and do anything to meet quotas imposed by their superiors. I lived among these dishonest tactics but would not acquiesce to these unethical practices while performing my duties as a young US Treasury special agent, only to become disillusioned with the overzealous prosecutors trying, to no avail, to insist on me testifying to lies just to convict otherwise innocent defendants. I left these criminals to pursue a career in private practice where I found true integrity and honor among top-flight executives at Union Carbide Corporation. I traveled the world, climbed to the highest ranks of international business, and later began my own tax and investment consulting firm, only to fall victim to the same monsters I worked for some thirty-five years earlier. I watched them firsthand lie on a search warrant, lie to the grand jury, threaten witnesses, and falsify information on an indictment all in their attempt to convict somebody, anybody, in an investigation all based on false informant statements traded to free a family member of real high crimes. You will hear the story of my orphan childhood, only to push myself through high school, college, graduate schools on my own and to gain admittance to some of the most difficult positions to obtain. An absolute perfect record only to be entrapped and forced to plead guilty to charges I did not commit. You will learn of the government's tricks, lies, and corruption of its own agents all to "win at all costs." These people are not our friends, nor are they here to help. You will hear my survival stories as a child, an adult, and a sixty-three-year ex-Federal agent entering Federal prison to challenge my final survival performance. 1
Download or read book Very Special Agents written by James Moore and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2022-08-15 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When James Moore joined the ATF in 1960, it was an arm of the Internal Revenue Service with one job: to catch the Mafia bootleggers whose distilleries cheated Uncle Sam of millions in tax revenue. During his twenty-five years of service, Moore saw the organization shift to enforcing of gun laws, be reborn as a separate bureau, and take on bombings and arson cases that most law officers wrote off as impossible to solve. Moore's personal, from-the-hip history spans the long-running war against dons and drug dealers and covers agents' daring infiltration of the Ku Klux Klan, Hell's Angels, and other violent groups. He reveals the cutting-edge forensics work that helped crack the World Trade Center and Oklahoma City bombings and also provides an insider account of the raid on the Branch Davidians at Waco. Finally, Moore discusses the ATF's rivalry with the FBI and the political power games that impede the government's ability to fight crime.
