Pretty good book written by FBI behavioral science guy before Unabomber was convicted. Amazing to read how this guy lived and functioned before getting caught. Has his manifesto in back. (A bit rambling but rest of book is good.) Has photos. I enjoyed it.

John Douglas, a former FBI Unit Chief who originated the unabomber profle, reveals the remarkable inside story of the 18 year manhunt.
Includes a complete transcript of the Unabomber Manifesto and 8 pages of dramatic photos.

The book is partly about FBI "profiling" but hits the major events re: the Unabomber - his history, methods and eventual capture. The last 1/4 of the book is documentary.
