Review:

"Wayne Manis was unsurpassed as a Street Agent. He was incredibly courageous and astonishingly effective. Manis was the epitome of the FBI's motto, Fidelity, Bravery
and Integrity. This book is a 'must read' as it provides a stellar insight into the multifaceted mission of the FBI. --Cecil E. Moses, FBI Special Agent In-Charge, Retired

"While I did not have the privilege of working with Wayne in an investigative capacity, I was very much aware of his Bureau-wide reputation as one of our very finest
'Street Agents'. Wayne's peers, his fellow investigators, held him in high regard with respect and admiration. On a personal basis, I know Wayne to be a person of the
highest integrity, honesty and substance with impeccable character. He was the best shot with a rifle that I ever encountered and when together we hunted grizzly bears in the wilds of Alaska, I always knew he had my back." --John E. Otto, Former Director, FBI, Acting, Retired

"FBI Special Agent Wayne Manis serves up true-crime from the driver's seat. As an agent who investigated political extremists in Chicago, the Mob and the Ku Klux Klan in the South, he was ideally equipped to deal with the Aryan Nations and a band of neo-Nazis committing crimes throughout the United States. His stories take you
there." --Bill Morlin, investigative reporter, The Spokesman-Review, 1972-2009 National correspondent, Hatewatch & Intelligence Report, 2010-current

"I have known and worked with Wayne Manis for decades. To this day, I am not sure if he is one of the best FBI Agents ever or if he is the re-incarnate of Rooster Cogburn, U.S. Marshal. Perhaps he is both. By any definition he tells a great story. A great read." --Danny O. Coulson, Deputy Assistant Director FBI, Retired

"Wayne Manis put the special in Special Agent. His years in the FBI, 1966-1994, are the insider history of the Bureau itself. Years he fully and eventfully lived, enlivened by the give and take of life on the street and working undercover, taking down bad people and making it look easy. But it wasn't easy, as I can attest from the time Wayne and I were colleagues on Alabama's first SWAT team in Birmingham in the 70's. Wayne was our leader, inspiring, dead on in his decisions and planning, doing by example and with a rich seam of humor under stress, just the right mix. Wayne was an agent's agent. You should read this book." --Jack Owens, FBI Special Agent, Retired, author of, Don't Shoot! We're Republicans! and Watchman: JFK's Last Ride
