FBI & an Ordinary Guy - The Private Price of Public Service by Mark Johnston Pdf

FBI & An Ordinary Guy, -The Private Price of Public Service - is a memoir about the many chilling, sometimes comical, events in a career as an FBI agent and the personal price some of us paid. For me, coming from a rough childhood I confronted the choices of becoming a clergyman, crook or cop. As an FBI agent in New York and other large American cities, we faced outlaw motorcycle gangs, the Mafia, drug kingpins, and terrorists; land pirates. I personally had many successes, but hard-won victories eventually sapped my energy and spirit. Along the way I had to come to grips with the murders of a squad partner, two New York City cops and several government witnesses. The public knows little about the stress and high emotional costs the guardians of their safety pay in the constant battle against crime and terror. The favorite antidotes of many law enforcement peers —crawling into a bottle or the wrong bed—proved to provide little long-lasting comfort. FBI & An Ordinary Guy reveals the inner working of the FBI, the humanness of its family members, and the real life story behind some of its major cases. But, this factual account is told through a genuine framework of the bitter sweet contrast of the gritty horrors of law enforcement versus affectionate father to daughter communication via never mailed letters to my children.

BADFELLAS: REFLECTIONS ON A LIFE IN THE HALLS OF JUSTICE by Thomas G. Roth Pdf

“Badfellas” takes the reader behind the scenes to reveal what it is like to be a trial lawyer in justice’s great arena, the courts of America. Mr. Roth writes from the vantage point of an attorney who had been a prosecutor, defense attorney and civil litigant for more than 40 years. His “badfellas” include drug traffickers, organized criminals, terrorists, murders, a pimp, a pedophile priest, and a TV talk show villain. He chooses 7 of his most intriguing cases and trials to tell his compelling story: • “The Smuggler and the Terrorist Prince”: The prosecution of America’s most wanted drug smuggler who became a hostage aboard an airliner hijacked by Pakistani terrorists. • “Welcome to Palermo”: The prosecution of the first Sicilian Connection heroin importation case, where the top echelon of an entire international smuggling operation was dismantled in coordinated trials in New York and Italy. • “The Charity That Wasn’t”: The trial of a gang of incorrigible criminals and murderers which used a charity as a front for their drug organization. • “Hush Money”: A lawsuit involving a pedophile priest and the Catholic’s Church’s unsuccessful attempts to conceal the clergyman’s crimes. • “The Mouth That Roared”: The defense of a popular television personality who was charged with assaulting a gay rights activist on his show. • “Tony Montana and the Bird Dog”: The defense of an Atlantic City pimp accused of laundering money for a 25-year-old crack kingpin who fancied himself the “Tony Montana” of Queens. • “The Bad Side of Mansfield”: A DEA Agent who faced the travails of a modern-day Job, all orchestrated by a rogue drug informant whose deceitful conduct turned the criminal justice system upside down.

THE FIFTH HORSEMAN MANIFESTO by PAUL A. KAZAKOV Pdf

In the wake of the tumultuous events of January 6, 2021, ‘The Fifth Horseman Manifesto’ emerges as a gripping political thriller, plunging readers into a world where democracy teeters on the edge of destruction. At its heart is Webster Kilgallen, an enigmatic octogenarian billionaire who views the insurrection as a dire omen—a modern manifestation of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, signaling the demise of American democracy. He views himself as the ‘Fifth Horseman’ who intends to confront the Four Horsemen and preserve democracy. Fueling the flames of chaos, Kilgallen unveils a chilling plan: he offers a staggering bounty on the Dark Web, targeting five influential ‘enablers’ whom he deems to be ‘clear and present dangers’ threatening the very fabric of the American Constitution. Dubbed ‘The Fifth Horseman Manifesto’, this manifesto becomes a catalyst for a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, where loyalties blur and betrayal looms around every corner. Caught in the crosshairs is Caitlin Kilgallen, fiercely protective of her father yet desperate to uncover his secrets. Her quest intertwines with Bastian Boudreaux, her father's confidant, whose allegiance is tested as the hunt for the Fifth Horseman intensifies. As the manifesto sends shockwaves through society, it sets in motion a dangerous chain of events. Adrien Escarra, a disillusioned Afghan veteran, sees an opportunity to redeem himself by pursuing Kilgallen's bounties, while James de Lacy III, the newly appointed FBI Director, races against time to thwart the looming threat. But the plot thickens when Victor Krassman, a titan of industry and one of Kilgallen's own targets, enters the fray, unleashing a wave of greed and betrayal that threatens to consume them all. In this deadly dance of power and deceit, principles crumble beneath the weight of avarice, friendships dissolve into enmity, and loyalties are shattered in a chilling tale of suspense.

The Oxford Handbook of the Cold War by Richard H. Immerman,Petra Goedde Pdf

The Oxford Handbook of the Cold War offers a broad reassessment of the period war based on new conceptual frameworks developed in the field of international history. Nearing the 25th anniversary of its end, the cold war now emerges as a distinct period in twentieth-century history, yet one which should be evaluated within the broader context of global political, economic, social, and cultural developments. The editors have brought together leading scholars in cold war history to offer a new assessment of the state of the field and identify fundamental questions for future research. The individual chapters in this volume evaluate both the extent and the limits of the cold war's reach in world history. They call into question orthodox ways of ordering the chronology of the cold war and also present new insights into the global dimension of the conflict. Even though each essay offers a unique perspective, together they show the interconnectedness between cold war and national and transnational developments, including long-standing conflicts that preceded the cold war and persisted after its end, or global transformations in areas such as human rights or economic and cultural globalization. Because of its broad mandate, the volume is structured not along conventional chronological lines, but thematically, offering essays on conceptual frameworks, regional perspectives, cold war instruments and cold war challenges. The result is a rich and diverse accounting of the ways in which the cold war should be positioned within the broader context of world history.

The Ransomware Hunting Team by Renee Dudley,Daniel Golden Pdf

A real-life technological thriller about a band of eccentric misfits taking on the biggest cybersecurity threats of our time. “What Michael Lewis did for baseball in Moneyball, Renee Dudley and Daniel Golden do brilliantly for the world of ransomware and hackers. Cinematic, big in scope, and meticulously reported, this book is impossible to put down.” —Doug Stanton, New York Times bestselling author of In Harm’s Way and Horse Soldiers Scattered across the world, an elite team of code crackers is working tirelessly to thwart the defining cyber scourge of our time. You’ve probably never heard of them. But if you work for a school, a business, a hospital, or a municipal government, or simply cherish your digital data, you may be painfully familiar with the team’s sworn enemy: ransomware. Again and again, an unlikely band of misfits, mostly self-taught and often struggling to make ends meet, have outwitted the underworld of hackers who lock computer networks and demand huge payments in return for the keys. The Ransomware Hunting Team traces the adventures of these unassuming heroes and how they have used their skills to save millions of ransomware victims from paying billions of dollars to criminals. Working tirelessly from bedrooms and back offices, and refusing payment, they’ve rescued those whom the often hapless FBI has been unwilling or unable to help. Foremost among them is Michael Gillespie, a cancer survivor and cat lover who got his start cracking ransomware while working at a Nerds on Call store in the town of Normal, Illinois. Other teammates include the brilliant, reclusive Fabian Wosar, a high school dropout from Germany who enjoys bantering with the attackers he foils, and his protégé, the British computer science prodigy Sarah White. Together, they have established themselves as the most effective force against an escalating global threat. This book follows them as they put their health, personal relationships, and financial security on the line to navigate the technological and moral challenges of combating digital hostage taking. Urgent, uplifting, and entertaining, Renee Dudley and Daniel Golden’s The Ransomware Hunting Team is a real-life technological thriller that illuminates a dangerous new era of cybercrime.
