Mike German Book order

Impressively researched and eloquently argued, former special agent Mike German's The Disrupt, Discredit, and Divide tells the story of the transformation of the bureau after the 9/11 attacks from a law enforcement agency into arguably the most secretive domestic intelligence agency America has ever seen. An engaging and unsettling contemporary history of the FBI, and a bold call for reform, told by a long-time counter-terrorism undercover agent who has become a widely admired whistleblower and a critic for civil liberties and accountable government.

As the fifth full year of America's global war on terrorism continues, statistics concerning terrorist attacks show a disturbing trend: from a twenty-one-year high in 2003, attacks tripled in 2004 and then doubled in 2005. And as the incidence of terrorist attacks increased, so has the number of terrorists.
