Inspect Agent Kathy Puckett And The Case Of The Unabomber Narrated By Bryan Denson Available In PDF

was a pretty easy read, It was enjoyable to read but also easily able to keep up with! For the record, the sole reason I read this was because its one of only two books in my entire local library system about the Unabomber case the other is David Kaczynskisbook Every Last Tie: The Story of the Unabomber and His Family.


Initially I didnt quite know what to make of it, A Unabomber book for kids But it was surprisingly well done, and didnt dumb things down as much as I expected.
It does, however, read like FBI propaganda, “The FBI are badass defenders of Americans and justice! They caught the Unabomber!” Well, no, not really, They didnt catch Ted Kaczynski, his brother and sisterinlaw did, And that was after seventeen years of the FBIs failure to do so, despiteagents working fulltime on the case and an unprecedented budget for the manhunt.
Had David not come forward with the letters and essays from Ted, its entirely possible he would have evaded the FBI forever.
The agents are given a little too much credit here, Especially considering all the leaks, and the broken promise to keep David and his wifes involvement from the press.


I also didnt quite like how the author skimmed over and barely mentioned most of the bombing incidents during thes.
It may have made for a longer book to include better descriptions, but I suppose it also wouldve highlighted all the failures and frustrations of the FBI during that decade, especially after the first fatality.
And this book isproFBI,

Caught an error on a photo caption that mixes up United Airlines and American Airlines, Considering the brevity of the book, that feels inexcusable, And then theres this bit:

“One handwritten note from Ted to his mother used the phrase “We cant eat our cake and have it, too”.
That was an odd inversion of the old proverb “You cant have your cake and eat it, too.
””

Actually, Mr. Denson, its a correct statement of that old proverb, not an inversion, It is logical and correct, You can have it AND eat it, but if you eat it you no longer have it,

Ted was actually a little too brilliant for his own good and much of society has yet to catch up.
Its actually a damn shame hes rotting away in supermaximum security while idiots run the world, Powiedzmy sobie szczerze, nie był to najlepszy reportaż, Strasznie krótki, brak jakiejś biografii Teda czy opisu jego procesu, Zamiast tego biografia jednej z agentek Nie było tu nic czego sama nie byłabym w stanie znaleźć w internecie.
. . Betweensixteen homemade bombs killedpeople and seriously maimed many more throughout the United States, With each passing year the bombs became more powerful and the Unabomber' become bolder, NOTE: since most bombs were sent to Universities or Airlines the Task Force was code named: UN university, A airline, BOM bombing hence, Unabomber.


For years the FBI examined every piece of evidence they had including the killer's “signature” equipment such as hand carved wood, tape, solder, powder from rifle cartridges and batteries with serial numbers removed.
The Unabomber was deemed to be ”one of the most careful criminal opponents we had ever had”, The FBIs best evidence was letters the killer had sent to a variety of people, newspapers, professors and victims, supposedly from an anarchist group signed “ FC”, always with an authentication code.
Frustrated as they were, they believed that “The case was solvable because the killer was a human being.
” He was much more cunning than a common criminal, acting more like spy, Kathy Puckett, a “profiler” within the agency was brought in, she described the

Unabomber as a male not a group, working alone, extremely bright, highly educate and who had once lived in Chicago.


Ultimately, the Unabomber sent a,a word manifesto to the NYT demanding its publication and promising to stop bombing upon its publication.
The news and the FBI agreed hoping that someone would recognize the authors words or writing style, This is exactly what happened,

A fascinating story of the search for one of Americas most dangerous domestic terrorists, The story outlines the research the FBI conducted their leads and disappointments, as well as the efforts the Unabomber went to to cover his trail and disguise himself.
A quick read that will have you on the edge of your seat,

NOTE: Over the years the FBI's mission has changed todays primary mission is to “protect Americans from terrorists, spies organized corruption, cyperattacks, assaults on our economic, military and political systems.
Events generally known as "Domestic Terrorism”, It's not heavily focused on Puckett but neither is it heavily focused on the Unabomber, but a mix of the two using Puckett as a plot element to the series of the case of the Unabomber and how he operated for so long and how Puckett was part of the case.
It works well for the intended audience, giving away the details that are important without being overwhelming though still a touch gruesome, but not gratuitous in explaining what happened to some of those that were on the receiving end of the homemade bombs.
So it left information out, but not to the detriment of understanding the story as a whole,

I'd definitely check out a few more of the books in the series to see if it's a worthy collection to add.
I'm so pleased that this is going to be a series,
As anthgrade English teacher, I work hard to find interesting books of many genre and length so I can get the right book into kids' hands.


This book fills a much needed niche, High interest nonfiction, not too long or complex, but also not dumbed down,

What I liked well, I liked the whole thing, and I'm an adult who was alive when this was happening:

Starts out with a bang literally so grabs interest
Short, easy to read chapters, so holds interest
Nonfiction that reads like fiction rather than a recitation of facts.

Complex material made understandable, not an easy task,
Begins with a list of characters that is organized with a brief description as a kid I would have to do this myself sometimes.
Having it already done might keep a kid reading,
Ends with sources, photo credits, and an index,

I'm eager to read whatever the next book in the series is, Keep them coming.

I'm also hopeful that some kids reading it will become inspired to become an FBI agent I see cyber warfare as a critical future need.


I devoured this book! A fascinating story that is not only really well told but expertly researched.
I highly recommend. .
