Retired agent Oliver "Buck" Revell reviews Operation Goldenrod and the capture of Fawaz Younis, the first overseas apprehension of an international terrorist. He also provides frank and transparent insight about the public perception of the FBI today. Operation Goldenrod was the first time the FBI used the new extra-territorial jurisdiction approved by Congress. This legislation provided the FBI with authority to investigate terrorist acts in which Americans were taken hostage, no matter where the acts occurred. Buck Revell is the author of A G-Man's Journal: A Legendary Career Inside the FBI- From The Kennedy Assassination to the Oklahoma City Bombing. During his Bureau career, Buck assumed many leadership roles, culminating with his promotion to Associate Deputy Director in Charge of Investigations.
