 Spooked by Ghost! August 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I found this book hard to put down. The pages turned rapidly as I gleaned behind the scenes insights into events to which I had been exposed to via electronic and print media in the past. As I put down the completed book, I experienced two strong feelings: 1. I am very glad that I was able to experience a microscopic view into the activities of people working behind the scenes, with little or no publicity, to protect our nation all hours of all days 2. I am concerned that our intelligence community may still be hindering itself through a lack of cooperation between the various agencies; even with the advent of Homeland Security. I highly recommend this book to all concerned citizens.
As an aside, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this book becomes a successful movie.
 An excellent read. July 30, 2008
The story behind the headlines. A great account of the hidden war being fought by our intelligence people to keep the bad guys off balance. It is hard to put down as I imagine I will miss something. Very gripping, gritty stuff. These stories are real. An account of some very brave people who do a dangerous and dirty job so we can sleep safely at night.

In this intense, fast-paced memoir, Fred Burton has revealed his day to day struggles to keep our country safe from terrorists. He's done a masterful job of letting us understand how he thinks and what motivates him to keep going, despite unbelieveable chaos and stress. His courage and patriotism make this an important read for all Americans!
Great Book about the War on Terror July 25, 2008

Ghost: Confessions of a Counterterrorism Agent by Fred Burton is a great read about the sacrifices that the brave men and women waging the war on terror make on a daily basis. Burton is an expert in the field of counter-terrorism and reading his book is like taking an advanced class on the subject. Sadly, there still seems to exist the lack of teamwork amongst the agencies that are so needed to work together. Hopefully, with works like this readable book by Burton, people will wake up and realize the need to focus on the issues and not worry about obtaining glory or credit for stopping the threats that exist.
Burton is a hero and we should all thank him for the dedication and commitment he has shown to this country. A four star read. Enjoyable, informative, and scary.
Captivating first-person account July 18, 2008
Mr. Burton does a bang up job of putting the reader right in the action as he chronicles his experiences with the State Dept's Diplomatic Security Service. The reader gets a front row seat at what was going on inside the Beltway and behind the scenes during some of the most critical events impacting US and international security. A low-threat, but riveting read for anyone interested in national security affairs.
