"Many times, when undercover in a mosque, or, far worse, while being followed and taped by government agents, a thought has troubled me: Why can't I lead a normal life? Why can't I sit lazily in a cafe like other people, go to the gym, enjoy the things others enjoy? Why do I need these repeated aggravations? Why do I subject myself to learning about outrage after outrage, whether it comes in the form of statements by Muslim leaders, or in the U.S. government's bungling of terrorism investigations? "Because I feel that I have to. We are at war, whether we want it or not." " -- from the rear outer jacket. "The remarkable memoir of an Iraqi woman who escaped from captivity in Baghdad and became America's leading undercover counter-terrorist expert. Here is the story of an anonymous counter-terrorism expert, a young woman, who, in disguise, has penetrated front groups of anti-American terrorist organizations operating in this country. In this edge-of-the-seat memoir, she chronicles her escape from Iraq via Iran to Israel, following a great tragedy that befell her family at the hands of Saddam Hussein. She also details how she became involved in intelligence gathering for the United States, her adoptive country, while working for an anti-terrorism group. With her unique insights into how terrorist groups veil their true operations by various means, she was able to infiltrate and identify dangerous terrorist organizations and entities working undetected in the United States. Terrorist Hunter provides fascinating and shocking information on how federal agencies, chiefly the FBI and the State Department, repeatedly ignored or mishandled important information she provided. She reveals her role in exposing terrorist supporters who the White House considered to be friends, in preventing the government from funding terrorist activites, and in the deportation of terrorists and their supporters. She also reveals how she discovered a billion-dollar scheme that rich Saudi Arabians set up to filter money to al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups, through charities and businesses in the United States -- information that the FBI sat on for years, until after 9-11." -- from the inner front jacket flap.

More family soon followed, and the clan has been here ever since. Funny in Farsi chronicles the American journey of Dumas's wonderfully engaging family: her engineer father, a sweetly quixotic dreamer who first sought riches on Bowling for Dollars and in Las Vegas, and later lost his job during the Iranian revolution; her elegant mother, who never fully mastered English (nor cared to); her uncle, who combated the effects of American fast food with an army of miraculous American weight-loss gadgets; and Firoozeh herself, who as a girl changed her name to Julie, and who encountered a second wave of culture shock when she met and married a Frenchman, becoming part of a one-couple melting pot. In a series of deftly drawn scenes, we watch the family grapple with American English (hot dogs and hush puppies?-a complete mystery), American traditions (Thanksgiving turkey?-an even greater mystery, since it tastes like nothing), and American culture (Firoozeh's parents laugh uproariously at Bob Hope on television, although they don't get the jokes even when she translates them into Farsi). Above all, this is an unforgettable story of identity, discovery, and the power of family love. It is a book that will leave us all laughing-without an accent. ; Firoozeh Dumas graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. She lives with her husband and children in Northern California. ; crease on front, else VG. Book.

Susan Isaacs brings her wicked wit and keen understanding of what really goes on between men and women to a very different slice of Long Island - the Hamptons. Magic Hour. That perfect time, that fleeting hour of enchanted light near dusk and dawn that is perfect for moviemaking, perfect for making love. Perfect for murder. And into the magic hour steps Stephen Brady, wise guy, tough guy, local farm boy turned homicide cop, a good man with a very bad life. But just as his luck seems about to change, the rich, gifted and urbane filmmaker Sy Spencer is murdered, and Brady discovers that his prime suspect is a woman he and the victim shared. A spellbinding mystery, a scathing social satire and a poignant love story, Magic Hour looks beyond the trendy magazine-cover Hamptons' world of the summer set's high-cheeekboned elegance and the locals' down-on-the-farm authenticity into the hearts of real people. This is the story of the treacherous murder that rocks them all and of the police detective who is too cold-hearted, too world-weary to ever fall in love - until he does. Susan Isaacs's newest novel since bestsellers Almost Paradise and Shining Through is a book that snaps with intelligence and style, a whodunit that sizzles with suspense and a romance that ignites with desire. Magic Hour is magic." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ". Signed by Author(s).
