Terry D. Turchie is a former Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterterrorism Division of the FBI. In this captivating interview, he discusses his latest book: Hunting the American Terrorist: The FBI's War on Homegrown Terror, in which he was the driving force behind the capture of the two most elusive and solitary domestic terrorists in U.S. history: The Unabomber and Eric Robert Rudolph.
A thorough examination of domestic terrorism, Terry's book is an inside look at FBI operations in its most complex investigation, that of Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. After sixteen years of traditional forensic investigation resulting in disappointing dead-ends the FBI brought in the experts from counterintelligence and they quickly moved from traditional methods to implementing psychological techniques, which resulted in the capture of Kaczynski, in just twenty -our months. Interesting insights on the FBI's use of the print media to help in its investigation and also contending with the broadcast media's threat to undermine the investigation in its final moments are supplied throughout the book. Terry also addresses the lessons learned in the investigation and how they apply to international terrorism.

His latest book, The Words of War: The Civil War Reportage of the New York Times and the Charleston Mercury,
In the North, The New York Times' correspondents accompanied the armies of Grant, Sherman, McClellan and other general officers and admirals in the Eastern and Western Theaters. The writings of Times correspondents Franc Wilkie, L.L. Crounse and many others set the structural standard for American war correspondence as we know it today.
In the South, newspapers wrote with greater passion. Chief among the passion providers was the Charleston Mercury, the spark plug for Southern secession and the arch opposite of the New York Times. The writings of Robert Barnwell Rhett, Sr. and Jr. and George William Bagby writing as Hermes, brought a blood rush to their readers as they bore their witness to the Civil War. Placed in juxtaposition are the findings of the modern historians thus bringing to the reader a threefold perspective of the Civil War.
