Pithy and informative

This was the best FBI book I've been able to get my hands on. In the book you will learn about all phases of the application process in detail. Also, you will learn which applicants are the most competitive and why. Pay grades and benefits are included and fully explained. There is also a nice section on the six month training period that takes place at Quantico, Virginia for those who are selected to join the FBI's ranks. The author describes what an average day might be like for a special agent.

The reason I did not rate this book as 5 stars is because the author really did not describe the different divisions and responsibilities of each task force within the FBI (at least not with much detail). For example, he barely mentions any SWAT components and does not mention the Hostage Rescue Team at all. It would have been nice for there to have been more information about what each individual unit does and how they go about getting it done. However, I would still strongly recommend this book to anyone looking to learn the basics about the FBI. They are covered very adequately in this book.

Pretty good book

I recently bought this book to get a little more information about the FBI's special agent program. It provides a good history of the FBI, from its inception to how the FBI got to where it is today. It provides more information about the SA career paths and options than is provided by the FBI website, which was nice. The authors writing style is alright, a little wordy. I would only recommend this book if you are seriously looking at joining the FBI.

Excellent Overview for FBI Special Agent Applicants

I've read several books on the FBI Special Agent career path, and this book is the most informative overall collection of data available. This is the only book I've read that details the specifics of an agent's career path and what to expect during various levels of an agent's career. It also provides excellent preparation for the two Phases of the agent application process, and I highly recommend this book to any person who is about to embark on the lengthy Special Agent application process.


Great book lots of useful information.

This book was an easy read, but contained lots of useful information. If you are interested in a career in the FBI I think this book would be one worth reading.
