Foreword by Louis Freeh, former Director of the FBI.

A “you are there” account by Terry Turchie, the FBI’S first Deputy Director for Counterterrorism, and Dr. Kathleen Puckett, the behavioral expert for the Counterterrorism Unit, who were responsible for the capture of the notorious UNABOMBER Ted Kaczynski and the Atlanta Olympics bomber Eric Robert Rudolph. Dr. Puckett’s first hand account includes her multi-jurisdictional study concerning lone domestic terrorists including Kaczynski, Timothy McVeigh and Eric Rudolph. Both have received numerous awards for their work.

Hunting the American Terrorist focuses on what made these lone terrorists tick, and turns that focus on today’s terrorist adversaries. Turchie, who defied FBI tradition and built a unique team in his direction of the Federal Task Force that finally caught Kaczynski, not only brings us a story of unparalleled excitement, but he and Dr. Puckett turn their focus on how to capture the most elusive terrorists of our present and future in the war on terror.
