Faces, Places & Cases: Real NCIS History

This book will be of great interest to anyone who enjoys the TV show NCIS, to anyone who has served in the US Navy or the US Marine Corps, and to anyone having an interest in the military and / or law enforcement. The author takes the reader through the history of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), beginning with their early days as part of the Office of Naval Intelligence, and growing into the organization it has become today. There are numerous actual case summaries of investigations and operations, covering the fields of felony crime and foreign counterintelligence (FCI). NCIS has broadened its mission through the years to support naval operations in war zones, naval warships at sea, and to counter cyber, espionage, and terrorism threats. This book takes the reader on an informative journey through this mission, and it does so, with ample specific cases. This is a book that is written with clarity, even though detailed, on a topic that encompasses history spanning over 100 years.
