I enjoyed “The Secrets of the FBI” by Ronald Kessler.
Intriguing information.
Told with such flare and style
that it didn’t feel like non-fiction.
Although not a comedy,
the book contained some enjoyable humorous moments.
TacOps (Tactical Operations) sneaks into the homes of mobsters, suspected terrorists, etc. to plant surveillance equipment. Only they must do so when no one’s home to avoid being detected. And more importantly, to avoid being shot as intruders. They key is to put everything back exactly where they found it.
At one home, the family cat darted out the door as the federal agents entered. A team of highly-trained FBI agents spent about an hour chasing after a cat! The first thing the FBI listens for over the bugs they planted is whether the occupants say something like: “That’s not where I left that.” Or any such indication that something’s amiss. The TacOps director told the cat-chasing team they did an excellent job placing everything back in its proper place. Only one problem: They brought back the wrong cat!
Besides sharing fun anecdotes, the book reveals inside* information on several key historical incidents, such as Waco, the spy swap with Russia, Osama Bin Laden’s demise, and much, much more.
Blessings & Joy,
* Or like my cousin’s son-in-law Daniel said at a recent family reunion: “What they want you to know.”
