Sample Book Insights:
#1 Brent Beckley was a young, eager expat businessman who was moving fast. He was wearing a conservative dark blue suit with matching tie. Anyone looking at him would have thought he was just another young, eager expat businessman on his way to an important meeting.
#2 When he turned himself in, the US embassy requested a copy of his passport. When he gave them the original, they confiscated it. Now he could travel freely for the next twenty-four hours.
#3 When he got to the airport, he was quickly whisked through immigration and security, thanks to Foster, who knew everyone at the airport. When he sat down in a quiet corner of a dingy coffee shop, he couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if he suddenly changed his mind.
#4 When the US government wanted to lock someone up, they simply passed a law to make whatever their target was doing illegal. Then they punched holes in his passport.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Brent Beckley was a young, eager expat businessman who was moving fast. He was wearing a conservative dark blue suit with matching tie. Anyone looking at him would have thought he was just another young, eager expat businessman on his way to an important meeting.

#2

When he turned himself in, the US embassy requested a copy of his passport. When he gave them the original, they confiscated it. Now he could travel freely for the next twenty-four hours.

#3

When he got to the airport, he was quickly whisked through immigration and security, thanks to Foster, who knew everyone at the airport. When he sat down in a quiet corner of a dingy coffee shop, he couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if he suddenly changed his mind.

#4

When the US government wanted to lock someone up, they simply passed a law to make whatever their target was doing illegal. Then they punched holes in his passport.

#5

Brent was nervous about the flight home, but he was also nervous about what the government would do to him. He was nervous about returning to Costa Rica, but he had to return to his family. He was nervous about doing the right thing.

#6

Brent was finally processed at JFK airport, and was driven to the Homeland Security offices in New York. He was handcuffed and shackled, and the whole process felt completely unfair.

#7

When he was taken into custody, he had already been handcuffed and sitting next to an FBI agent for more than an hour.
