Stratfor is currently promoting a book, Ghost, by Fred Burton. You can read Chapter Two of the book here, where Burton tells about his first day on the job as a counter-terrorism agent.

In this chapter he relates how he was initially asked to read about the Hezbollah attacks on the U.S. Embassy and how each time the suicide bombers were successful in killing many people because they were able to breach the outer ring of defence.

I don't much enjoy his terse and disjointed writing style, but the stories are interesting. It might make for good airport reading.
