The authors both served with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's UNABOM task force. In this work, they present an insider's account of the hunt for Theodore Kaczynski, the Unabomber, whose eventual capture they credit to "significant and dedicated psychological and behavioral support, combined with an innovative and often nontraditional management approach that is unusual in enforcement." They also discuss related cases in which they were involved, including the search for Eric Rudolph, the Christian terrorist who planted bombs at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
