An insightful look into the career of one of the most damaging spies in our nation's history. What made Robert Hanssen spy for the Soviets, and how did he get away with it for so long? The author's detailed and well-researched account goes a long way towards answering these questions. If you're interested in espionage and the FBI, this book is well worth your time.

My review of The Threat Matrix: The FBI at War in the Age of Global Terror by Garrett M. Graff

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you're interested in the post-9/11 history of the FBI, this is the book for you. The author touches on many different aspects of the Agency's past, but focuses mainly on its new top mission after the September 11th attacks - the War on Terror. A detailed and informative look at the FBI under Robert Mueller and the Administrations of Presidents Bush and Obama. An eye-opening read.
