"Compelling, shocking, and gritty with intrigue."-Publishers Weekly
(starred review) "A real eye-opener that questions how well the
country's security is being protected."-Kirkus Reviews "This is
investigative reporting at its best. For the first time, a
documented investigation into the domestic terrorism program is
available to the general public. And the story this dogged reporter
tells has been garnering growing attention. Is it possible that we
have in fact created the very threat we fear? Are we in danger of
destroying the fabric of our freedom in our panic to preserve it?
Read Aaronson's ground breaking report and make up your own
mind."-Lowell Bergman, Pulitzer Prize-winning Professor of
Investigative Reporting "A disturbing window into America's war on
terror. In story after story, Aaronson reveals in detail how the
FBI and its informants are creating crime rather than solving it.
This is an important piece of journalism."--Alexandra Natapoff,
author, Snitching: Criminal Informants and the Erosion of American
Justice "The Terror Factoryis a damning exposé of how the
government's front line against terrorism has become a network of
snitches at the end of their ropes, and FBI agents desperate to
thwart a terrorist plot even if it means creating one."-Will
Potter, author, Green is the New Red: An Insider's Account of a
Social Movement Under Siege "Aaronson explains just how misguided
and often deceptive FBI terrorism sting operations have become. In
case after case, he demonstrates how the money being spent is more
about producing theater than about federal agents arresting
suspected terrorists."-James J. Wedick, former FBI Supervisory
Agent
