Nada Nadim Prouty (née Al-Aouar; born c. 1970) is a Lebanese former intelligence professional of Druze descent who worked in American counter-terrorism with the FBI and CIA. She worked on high-profile cases like the USS Cole bombing and was stationed in Baghdad during the Iraq War. She resigned after a government investigation into her brother-in-law, Talal Khalil Chahin, allegedly led to the discovery of her having committed immigration-related marriage fraud. Prouty claims she disclosed the sham marriage to the FBI when she applied, and the FBI has not denied this claim, stating simply the FBI "never condoned" the marriage. She was born into the Druze faith, which is often mistaken for being a sect of Islam. More

Blair House, 2016. A Blair House First Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing. Trade paperback. [6], 366, [4] pages. Two pages creased, unfolded. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads: Bill Thanks for all the "Royal" insights. Hope you enjoy! Rick. Before 2011, Rick?s career was all journalism: investigative reporter for different newspapers and later inventive magazine editor. The two roles in the same business exposed his different sides: he thrives on the thrill of an investigation and he has a creative curiosity for design and writing he has never tamed. So in 2011 he merged the two and started writing fiction. In 2016 he published his best-selling thriller, NAKED AMBITION. His second thriller, THE APPRENTICE, was published in December, 2017. His third novel, NAKED TRUTH, the sequel to NAKED AMBITION, was published in September 2018. Rick?s is founding editor of Leader?s Edge, an international business magazine (his second magazine startup). After 15 years at the helm, he left his baby in 2019 to pursue writing books full-time. When newspaper reporter Beck Rikki receives an unsolicited call from a high-ranking government official sending him off to investigate a candidate for President of the United States, he doesn't realize he's stumbled onto the story of a lifetime. As he digs deeper, he follows a trail of murder, bribery, infidelity and deceit that runs from Canada to the Caribbean--but all signs point to the White House. Beck finds nothing is quite as it appears--not his sources, not his curious new love interest and especially not the story he's pursuing. In the confusion, he suspects the motives of everyone--including his new love. He must figure out the truth. More
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1983. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. 24 cm, xv, [1], 608 pages. Authors' Notes. Appendix. Bibliographical Note. Notes. Index. Small sticker residue on rear board. Signed by the author (Radosh). Publisher's ephemera laid in. Ronald Radosh (born 1937) is an American writer, professor, historian, and former Marxist. As described in his memoirs, Radosh was, like his parents, a member of the Communist Party of the United States of America until the Khrushchev thaw. Subsequently, he was a New Left and Anti-Vietnam War activist. Later, Radosh turned his attention to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. After studying declassified FBI documents and interviewing their friends and associates, Radosh concluded that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were indeed guilty of spying for the KGB. According to his close friend David Horowitz, Radosh's decision to publish his findings led to his social ostracism. Radosh has also published books about the activities of Joseph Stalin's NKVD during the Spanish Civil War and the foundation of the State of Israel. His most recent book, co-authored with his wife Allis Radosh, is A Safe Haven: Harry S. Truman and the Founding of Israel, published by HarperCollins in 2009. More
