Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Called a first-rate spy story (Entertainment Weekly), The Bureau and the Mole is the sensational New York Times best-seller that tells the inside story of FBI counterintelligence agent Robert Philip Hanssen, a seemingly all-American boy who would become the perfect traitor, jeopardizing America's national security for over twenty years by selling top-secret information to the Russians. Drawing from a wide variety of sources in the FBI, the Justice Department, the White House, and the intelligence community, Pulitzer Prize-winning author David A. Vise tells the story of how Hanssen employed the very sources and methods his own nation had entrusted to him in a devious game of deceit -- simply because he had something to prove. Vise also interweaves the narrative of how FBI director Louis B. Freeh led the government's desperate search for its betrayer among its own ranks, from the false leads, to the near misses, to its ultimate, shocking conclusion. Fascinating, gripping, and provocative, The Bureau and the Mole is a harrowing tale of how one man's treachery rocked a fraternity built on fidelity, bravery, and integrity -- and how the dedicated perseverance of another brought him to justice. Absorbing . Vise's account of Mr. Hanssen's road to becoming a double agent is fascinating. -- Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Brisk, well documented . a penetrating study of the villain and a gripping summary of the appalling evidence against him. -- Charles McCarry, The Wall Street Journal A carefully researched and compelling account, with a startling bombshell. -- David W. Marston, The Baltimore Sun Intelligent and well researched. -- Allen Weinstein, The Washington Post Book World.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The definitive, bestselling account of the company that changed the way we work and live, updated for the twentieth anniversary of Google's founding with analysis of its most recent bold moves to redefine the world--and its even more ambitious plans for the future. Moscow-born Sergey Brin and Midwest-born Larry Page dropped out of graduate school at Stanford University to, as they said, "change the world" through a powerful search engine that would organize every bit of information on the Web for free. The Google Story takes you deep inside the company's wild ride from an idea that struggled for funding in 1998 to a firm that today rakes in billions in profits. Based on scrupulous research and extraordinary access to Google, this fast-moving narrative reveals how an unorthodox management style and a culture of innovation enabled a search-engine giant to shake up Madison Avenue, clash with governments that accuse it of being a monopoly, deploy self-driving cars to forever change how we travel, and launch high-flying Internet balloons. Unafraid of controversy, Google is surging ahead with artificial intelligence that could cure diseases but also displace millions of people from their jobs, testing the founders' guiding mantra: DON'T BE EVIL. Praise for The Google Story"[The authors] do a fine job of recounting Google's rapid rise and explaining its search business."--The New York Times "An intriguing insider view of the Google culture."--Harvard Business Review "An interesting read on a powerhouse company . . . If you haven't read anything about one of today's most influential companies, you should. If you don't read The Google Story, you're missing a few extra treats."--USA Today "Fascinating . . . meticulous . . . never bogs down."--Houston Chronicle. …
