the FBI, Ted Kaczynski, and the capture of America's most notorious domestic terrorist

April 3, 1996. A team of FBI agents closed in on an isolated cabin in remote Montana. The cabin's lone inhabitant was a former mathematics prodigy and professor who had abandoned society decades earlier. Few people knew his name, Theodore Kaczynski, but everyone knew the mayhem and death associated with his nickname: the Unabomber. , It was the end of the longest and most expensive investigation in FBI history: for two decades Kaczynski had masterminded a campaign of random terror through bombs sent in untraceable packages, his identity a maddening mystery. Wiehl reconstructs the tension-filled hunt to identify and capture the mysterious killer
