No Two Days Alike (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781971983011)

Get an exclusive, factual look inside the extraordinary thirty-year career of FBI Special Agent Alan L. Brown (aka "Allen Gordon"), a veteran who served not only as a street agent and firearms instructor but also as a pioneer FBI pilot, instructor, and check airman. In this captivating memoir, Brown details the discipline and determination that took him from a student-athlete and U.S. Navy pilot in Vietnam to the front lines of America's most high-profile federal investigations.

Brown recounts his personal involvement in numerous major cases, often flying extensive undercover aviation assignments in a specially equipped plane wired for video and sound. Relive the 1970 arrest of the notorious con artist Frank Abagnale, whose life inspired the book and movie Catch Me If You Can, with a foreword written by Abagnale himself. Experience the tension of major incidents like the 1972 Southern Airways DC-9 hijacking, the 51-day siege of the Branch Davidian complex in Waco, Texas, in 1993, and the immediate aftermath of the 1995 Oklahoma City federal building bombing. Read about high-stakes missions such as the capture of FBI Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitive Morris Lynn Johnson in 1976, the transport of mafia boss Sammy "the Bull" Gravano to testify in New York in 1997, and undercover operations to expose public corruption, including that of Governor Edwin Edwards of Louisiana in 1997. Discover the story of the first known aerial surveillance in FBI history in 1971 and the subsequent use of undercover flying in RICO and drug operations, from the search for the Atlanta child killer Wayne Williams to tracking domestic terrorism groups like Los Macheteros in Puerto Rico.

A testament to the courage and dedication of the men and women in the Bureau, "No Two Days Alike" offers rare insight into the inner workings of the FBI and a deeply personal account of a life dedicated to law enforcement.
