In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This book was a very long time in the writing. During the course of my research, I was privileged to interview many of the participants in this case. I want to sincerely thank all of those who shared their knowledge and insights: Anthony Barkow, Joe Billy, Jean-Louis Brugière, Jack Cloonan, Frederick Cohn, Gregory Cooper, Pat D’Amuro, Joshua Dratel, Scott Fenstermaker, Laura Gasiorowski, Sheila Horan, Nelly Lahoud, Kenneth Piernick, Peter Quijano, Leonard B. Sand, Sam Schmidt, Ali Soufan, David Stern, Mary Jo White, and Edward Wilford. I can honestly say that each conversation had an influence on my thinking about the case. For that I am grateful. Whether or not I agree with what I was told, I aspired to faithfully report on opinions held by others. I, alone, bear responsibility for the end result that is this book. Michael Carin graciously read the manuscript and made an invaluable contribution . Beverley Slopen, my literary agent, was responsible for getting it into print. I very much appreciate the support I have received from the Canada Council for the Arts, without which I would not have been able to complete this project. ...
