Book submitted under the .txt section of the website. This book has page
breaks, and I would have sent the .rtf but it was corrupted at page 78 out
of 610 or so... so, you can see why I didn't. Should be an easy validation.
Headers are naturalized, and junk characters removed, chapter headings
protected and all page numbers are available.
Anyway.
For those interested.
No Heroes: An Inside Look At the FBI's Secret Counter Terror Force
By Danny O. Colson
Danny came to speak at Kutztown University in 2000 and had quite a bit to
talk about regarding terrorism and the motivations of terrorists. This book
is hyuge but worth the read. Very insightful and proves anyone could be a
terrorist. If you have a cause you are willing to die for.
From the book Jacket:
Surrounding a heavily patrolled racist stronghold
in the black of night, or venturing into dank tunnels underneath a prison
held by crazed rioters, an intrepid group of men challenge evil on its own
turf. Under the expert leadership of Danny O. Coulson, these highly trained
agents of the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team execute perilous missions in crises
too volatile for SWAT teams, and in explosive situations where there are...
NO HEROES
Danny O. Coulson is the founder of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's
Hostage Rescue Team, or HRT. In an FBI career that spans three decades, he
led the arrest of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, convinced McVeigh's
friend Michael Fortier to become the government's star witness, and has
helped bring hundreds of murderous extremists and killers to justice-from
the Black Liberation Army police assassins to the treacherous white
supremacist terrorists of the Order, and the Covenant, Sword and Arm of the
Lord.
In NO HEROES, Coulson opens a long-locked door into the secretive world of
the HRT, the civilian equivalent of the U.S. military's elite Delta Force.
Coulson's stories spring to life with nerve-jangling electricity as he
discloses the tactics and teamwork of HRT snipers, operators, negotiators,
and experts in assaults, electronics and explosives.
Coulson takes the reader inside famous cases and provides riveting first
person accounts of such high-profile investigations as the Atlanta prison
riots-and tense showdowns including the disastrous sieges at Ruby Ridge and
Waco. He sheds new light on the deadliest terrorist attack in American
history-the Oklahoma City Bombing, that took 168 lives-with
never-before-revealed details of the FBI's massive efforts to locate the
conspirators before they struck again.
Finally, Coulson exposes the frightening rise of domestic terrorism and its
implications for the 21st Century. For him and the men and women who have
followed him, the path to justice is never too steep, too dark or too
narrow. Though equipped with high tech weapons and physically fit bodies,
these agents consider their razor sharp minds to be their best weapons. They
use deadly force only in defense of life.
Because, when people die, there are NO HEROES.
DANNY O. COULSON, a Texas native, served with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation from 1966 until 1997, and was the first commander of the
bureau's Hostage Rescue Team.
