Inside
From a twenty-five-year career that spanned four continents, an FBI special agent gives you the inside story of the Bureau’s greatest takedowns and biggest screwups. From China to the South Pacific, from East Berlin to Arkansas, I.C. Smith is one of the FBI’s most storied figures. This intrepid G-man has seen it all. In this riveting book about the Bureau, Smith brings a fresh, insider’s perspective on the FBI’s most well-known triumphs and failures of the past three decades. Robert Hannsen. Morris and Eva Childs. Larry Wu-Tai Chin. Aldrich Ames. Smith offers unique insights into how these monumental investigations were handled, or often mishandled, in alarming detail.

At the same time, they have been termed perhaps the most dysfunctional family in the Fortune 500.
