Описание: The fascinating story of a young American amateur who helped the FBI bust a Russian spy in New York named the Funniest Book of the Year by "The Washington Post," sold in ten countries, and to be a major motion picture for 20th Century Fox.
For three nerve-wracking years, Naveed Jamali spied on America for the Russians, trading thumb drives of sensitive technical data for envelopes of cash, selling out his own beloved country across noisy restaurant tables and in quiet parking lots. Or so the Russians believed. In fact, this young American civilian was a covert double agent working with the FBI. The Cold War wasn t really over. It had just gone high-tech.
"How to Catch a Russian Spy" is the one-of-a-kind story of how one young man s post-college adventure became a real-life US counter-intelligence coup. He had no previous counter-espionage experience. Everything he knew about undercover work, he d learned from "Miami Vice" and "Magnum P.I." reruns and movies like "Ronin, Spy Game," and anything with "Bond" or "Bourne" in the title. And yet, hoping to gain experience to become a Navy intelligence officer, he convinced the FBI and the Russians they could trust him. With charm, cunning, and a big load of naivete, he matched wits with a veteran Russian military-intelligence officer who was recruiting spies on American soil, out-maneuvering the Russian spy and his secret-hungry superiors. Along the way, Jamali and his FBI handlers cast a rare light on espionage activities at the Russian Mission to the United Nations in New York and earned a solid US win in the escalating hostilities between Moscow and Washington.
Now, Jamali reveals the whole engaging story behind his double-agent adventure from coded signals on Craigslist to the Russian spy s propensity for Hooters Buffalo wings. Cinematic, news-breaking, and hilarious ("The Washington Post"), "How to Catch a Russian Spy" is an armchair spy fantasy brought to life. Film rights sold to 20th Century Fox for director Marc Webb ("The Amazing Spider-Man, 500 Days of Summer")."

Описание: With all the SEALs` recent successes, we have been getting a level of attention we are not used to. It`s been flattering but something important has been missing from the discussion. This book offers an insight into the extreme bravery, borderline lunacy, and touching camaraderie of this elite brotherhood.

Описание: From leadership expert, former Navy SEAL, "American Grit" feature player, and author of Worth Dying For: A Navy SEAL's Call to a Nation, Rorke Denver, the bestselling account of how he helped create the U.S. Navy SEALS of today. Rorke Denver trains the men who become Navy SEALs--the most creative problem solvers on the modern battlefield, ideal warriors for the kinds of wars America is fighting now. With his years of action-packed mission experience and a top training role, Lieutenant Commander Denver understands exactly how tomorrow's soldiers are recruited, sculpted, motivated, and deployed.
Now, Denver takes you inside his personal story and the fascinating, demanding SEAL training program he now oversees. He recounts his experience evolving from a young SEAL hopeful pushing his way through Hell Week, into a warrior engaging in dangerous stealth missions across the globe, and finally into a lieutenant commander directing the indoctrination, requalification programs, and the "Hero or Zero" missions his SEALs undertake.
From his own SEAL training and missions overseas, Denver details how the SEALs' creative operations became front and center in America's War on Terror-and how they are altering warfare everywhere. In fourteen years as a SEAL officer, Rorke Denver tangled with drug lords in Latin America, stood up to violent mobs in Liberia, and battled terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan. Leading 200 commando missions, he earned the Bronze Star with V for valor. He has also served as flag aide to the admiral in charge and spent the past four years as executive officer of the Navy Special Warfare Center's Advanced Training Command in Coronado, California, directing all phases of the basic and advanced training that prepare men for war in SEAL teams. He recently starred in the film "Act of Valor." He is married and has two daughters.
Ellis Henican is a columnist at "Newsday" and an on-air commentator at the Fox News Channel. He has written two recent "New York Times" bestsellers, "Home Team" with New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and "In the Blink of an Eye" with NASCAR legend Michael Waltrip.
With all the SEALs' recent successes, we have been getting a level of acclaim we're not used to. But something important has been missing in this warm burst of publicity . Correcting that is my mission here.
My own SEAL dream was launched by a book. My hope is that this one teaches lessons that go far beyond the battlefield, inspiring a fresh generation of warriors to carry on that dream.
-Lieutenant Commander Rorke Denver
