For decades, movies and television shows have portrayed FBI agents as
fearless heroes leading glamorous lives, but this refreshingly
original memoir strips away the fantasy and glamour and describes the
day-to-day job of an FBI special agent. The book gives a firsthand
account of a career in the Federal Bureau of Investigation from the
academy to retirement, with exciting and engaging anecdotes about SWAT
teams, counterterrorism activities, and undercover assignments. At the
same time, it challenges the stereotype of FBI agents as arrogant,
case-stealing, suit-wearing stiffs with representations of real people
who carry badges and guns. With honest, self-deprecating humor, Steve
Moore's narrative details his successes and his mistakes, the trauma
the job inflicted on his marriage, his triumph over the aggressive
cancer that took him out of the field for a year, and his return to
the Bureau with renewed vigor and dedication to take on some of the
most thrilling assignments of his career. Steve Moore is a former
agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who had assignments as a
SWAT team operator, sniper, pilot, counterterrorist, and undercover
agent. He received multiple awards from the Department of Justice
before his retirement in 2008, has written two episodes for an
FBI-themed TV series, and is a regular commentator for Headline News.
He lives in Thousand Oaks, California.
