Unbreakable Code: Chasing an Intelligence Specialist Gone Rogue
Before Edward Swowden, there was Brian Regan, a dyslexic, dangerous traitor it would take years to capture.
On the morning of the first Monday in December 2000, FBI Special Agent Steven Carr hurried out of his cubicle at the bureau’s Washington, D.C. field office and bounded down two flights of stairs to pick up a package that had just arrived by FedEX from FBI New York.
