- The targeter : my life in the CIA, hunting terrorists and challenging the White House / by Bakos, Nada,1969-author.; Coburn, Davin,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 309-354)."In 1999, 30-year-old Nada Bakos moved from her lifelong home in Montana to Washington, DC, to join the CIA. Quickly realizing her affinity for intelligence work, Nada was determined to rise through the ranks of the agency first as an analyst and then as a Targeting Officer, eventually finding herself on the frontline of America's War against Islamic extremists. In this role, Nada was charged with determining if Iraq had a relationship with 9/11 and Al-Qaida, and finding the mastermind behind this terrorist activity: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Her team's analysis stood the test of time, but it was not satisfactory for some members of the Administration. In a narrative that takes the reader from Langley deep into Iraq, Bakos reveals the inner workings of the Agency and the largely hidden world of intelligence gathering post 9/11. Entrenched in the world of the CIA, Bakos, along with her colleagues, focused on leading U.S. Special Operations Forces to the doorstep of one of the world's most wanted terrorists. Filled with on-the-ground insights and poignant personal anecdotes, The Targeter shows us the great personal sacrifice that comes with intelligence work. This is Nada's story, but it is also an intimate chronicle of how a group of determined, ambitious men and women worked tirelessly in the heart of the CIA to ensure our nation's safety."--Page [2] of cover.

- Canada's most haunted [videorecording] : paranormal encounters in the Great White North / by World Wide Multi Media (Firm);
Canada has a rich tradition of frightening paranormal activity from one end of the country to the other. Beginning with British Columbia, you will find White Rock Players Club, a 100 year old playhouse that has more than its share of ghostly characters. The Four-Mile House, an upscale restaurant that was once a bordello, contains entities in search of mischief and vengeance. At the Beban House, a mysterious ghost child can be found slamming doors, hurling objects and frightening visitors. And don't forget Andrade House, where an eccentric artist shares his studio with the ghost of a young woman. Moving on to Ontario, we find the Bytown Museum at the gateway to the Rideau Canal, which may also be a gateway to the paranormal; as well as Sax's Fish and Chips which is home to as many as 16 spirits. The Halifax Club in Nova Scotia is a private gentlemen's club known for its elite membership, and the ghosts of some of these men still call it home. Canadian ghosts are also fond of the water. In St. John, New Brunswick the frigate Genii was lost with all hands - but one sailor lingers on in spirit, haunting both the beach where his lifeless body washed ashore and the nearby mansion where he was laid out for burial. In Quebec a thirty-foot lake monster stalks the peaceful waters of Lake Memphremagog. In British Columbia, a decommissioned freighter known as the Queen Mary is haunted by a foul tempered ghost with an appetite for destruction. Prepare for an exciting thrill ride to some of Canada's most haunted locations.E.DVD.

- The world as it is : a memoir of the Obama White House / by Rhodes, Benjamin J.,1977-author.;
For nearly ten years, Ben Rhodes saw almost everything that happened at the center of the Obama administration--first as a speechwriter, then as deputy national security advisor, and finally as a multipurpose aide and close collaborator. He started every morning in the Oval Office with the President's Daily Brief, traveled the world with Obama, and was at the center of some of the most consequential and controversial moments of the presidency. Now he tells the full story of his partnership--and, ultimately, friendship--with a man who also happened to be a historic president of the United States. Rhodes was not your typical presidential confidant, and this is not your typical White House memoir. Rendered in vivid, novelistic detail by someone who was a writer before he was a staffer, this is a rare look inside the most poignant, tense, and consequential moments of the Obama presidency--waiting out the bin Laden raid in the Situation Room, responding to the Arab Spring, reaching a nuclear agreement with Iran, leading secret negotiations with the Cuban government to normalize relations, and confronting the resurgence of nationalism and nativism that culminated in the election of Donald Trump. In The World as It Is, Rhodes shows what it was like to be there--from the early days of the Obama campaign to the final hours of the presidency. It is a story populated by such characters as Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Hillary Clinton, Bob Gates, and--above all--Barack Obama, who comes to life on the page in moments of great urgency and disarming intimacy. This is the most vivid portrayal yet of Obama's worldview and presidency, a chronicle of a political education by a writer of enormous talent, and an essential record of the forces that shaped the last decade.
