Fascinating insiders look...

This is a great read about the inner workings of US counterterrorism. How the bad guys were caught and eliminated. A fascinating look at a world few know about. Fred is a true American hero. Definitely worth reading.

Awesome!

A great read so far! Can't put it down and can't wait to finish it!

Riveting and well-crafted: don't miss this one!!!

A gripping book, made all the more profound by the author's deft use of imagery as the reader is taken along on a counterterrorism agent's life and career, from his time as a rookie in Maryland to his experiences fighting terrorism throughout the world.

Ghost is exceptionally well-written, giving the reader an authentic look into Burton's world -- complete with the interesting juxtapositions between his home and work lives. It is impressive that he and his agency were determined to "find out the how so we can prevent it from happening again" rather than focusing solely on the who and why in every terrorist attack. This, and the fact that Burton is clearly an intelligent, multi-faceted person willing to give voice to his feelings add a level of depth to his memoir. Ghost was accessible, vivid, and riveting - I read it in one sitting and am recommending it to my customers and friends.

A refreshing change

This is a well-written and fast paced book. It provides an interesting behind-the-scenes look at terrorism and counterterrorism in the 80's and early 90's, without revealing so much as to seem indiscreet. As such, it makes a refreshing change from the increasingly common "kiss-and-tell" memoirs of many former government officials.
Its scope is fairly small, just a decade or so in the life of a DSS agent, and is told from his point of view, but it is partly that human element that makes the story so interesting and unusual.
