      abstract = {For decades, movies and television shows have portrayed  FBI agents as fearless heroes leading glamorous lives, but  this refreshingly original memoir strips away the fantasy  and glamour and describes the day-to-day job of an FBI  special agent. The book gives a firsthand account of a  career in the Federal Bureau of Investigation from the  academy to retirement, with exciting and engaging anecdotes  about SWAT teams, counterterrorism activities, and  undercover assignments. At the same time, it challenges the  stereotype of FBI agents as arrogant, case-stealing,  suit-wearing stiffs with representations of real people who  carry badges and guns. With honest, self-deprecating humor,  Steve Moore's narrative details his successes and his  mistakes, the trauma the job inflicted on his marriage, his  triumph over the aggressive cancer that took him out of the  field for a year, and his return to the Bureau with renewed  vigor and dedication to take on some of the most thrilling  assignments of his career. Steve Moore is a former agent of  the Federal Bureau of Investigation who had assignments as  a SWAT team operator, sniper, pilot, counterterrorist, and  undercover agent. He received multiple awards from the  Department of Justice before his retirement in 2008, has  written two episodes for an FBI-themed TV series, and is a  regular commentator for Headline News. He lives in Thousand  Oaks, California.},
