  <description><![CDATA[During his twenty-five year career with the Investigative Support Unit, Special  Agent John Douglas became a legendary figure in law enforcement, pursuing some of the most notorious and  sadistic serial killers of our time: the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, the  Atlanta child murderer, and Seattle's Green River killer, the case that nearly cost Douglas his life.<p> As the model for Jack Crawford in <em>The Silence of the Lambs</em>, Douglas has  confronted, interviewed, and studied scores of serial killers and assassins, including Charles Manson,  Ted Bundy, and Ed Gein, who dressed himself in his victims' peeled skin. Using his uncanny ability to  become both predator and prey, Douglas examines each crime scene, reliving both the killer's and the victim's  actions in his mind, creating their profiles, describing their habits, and predicting their next moves.<p> Now, in chilling detail, the legendary Mindhunter takes us behind the scenes of  some of his most gruesome, fascinating, and challenging cases -- and into the darkest recesses of our  worst nightmares.</p></p>]]></description>

The story of the development of criminal profiling is certainly an interesting one, but I don't believe that Mr. Douglas deserves quite as much credit as he is willing to give himself.

    <![CDATA[During his twenty-five year career with the Investigative Support Unit, Special  Agent John Douglas became a legendary figure in law enforcement, pursuing some of the most notorious and  sadistic serial killers of our time: the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, the  Atlanta child murderer, and Seattle's Green River killer, the case that nearly cost Douglas his life.<p> As the model for Jack Crawford in <em>The Silence of the Lambs</em>, Douglas has  confronted, interviewed, and studied scores of serial killers and assassins, including Charles Manson,  Ted Bundy, and Ed Gein, who dressed himself in his victims' peeled skin. Using his uncanny ability to  become both predator and prey, Douglas examines each crime scene, reliving both the killer's and the victim's  actions in his mind, creating their profiles, describing their habits, and predicting their next moves.<p> Now, in chilling detail, the legendary Mindhunter takes us behind the scenes of  some of his most gruesome, fascinating, and challenging cases -- and into the darkest recesses of our  worst nightmares.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Mindhunter</strong> enters the minds of some of the country's most notorious serial killers to tell the real-life story of the Investigative Support Unit (ISU) -- the FBI's special force that has assisted state and local police in cracking some of the country's most celebrated serial murder and rape cases. The unit specializes in understanding the chemistry and mechanical workings of the brain's of these serial criminals, and did its homework by interviewing such murderers as Charles Manson and David Berkowitz (the Son of Sam). John Douglas, who worked for the FBI for 25 years, is an authority on the unit, and his book combines the best of nonfiction with that of a murder mystery.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[John Douglas takes us through his history first, his experiences growing up, what made him decide to become an FBI agent and how he used profiling even before he became an agent and knew what it was.

    <![CDATA[During his twenty-five year career with the Investigative Support Unit, Special  Agent John Douglas became a legendary figure in law enforcement, pursuing some of the most notorious and  sadistic serial killers of our time: the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, the  Atlanta child murderer, and Seattle's Green River killer, the case that nearly cost Douglas his life.<p> As the model for Jack Crawford in <em>The Silence of the Lambs</em>, Douglas has  confronted, interviewed, and studied scores of serial killers and assassins, including Charles Manson,  Ted Bundy, and Ed Gein, who dressed himself in his victims' peeled skin. Using his uncanny ability to  become both predator and prey, Douglas examines each crime scene, reliving both the killer's and the victim's  actions in his mind, creating their profiles, describing their habits, and predicting their next moves.<p> Now, in chilling detail, the legendary Mindhunter takes us behind the scenes of  some of his most gruesome, fascinating, and challenging cases -- and into the darkest recesses of our  worst nightmares.</p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a seriously disturbing read.  I recommend any title by John Douglas, one of the original FBI profilers who meticulously sets out the cases he has worked on.  This is riveting but don't read this if you plan on sleeping anytime soon.  It is hard to let these books go long after you read them....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39164237">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Crime scene analysis is a fascination of mine, but this guy is a top-notch criminal profiler.  He'd walk onto a scene, and based on what he sees, he could profile the murderer down to the height, color of skin, sexuality, and what kind of profession he is in.  Amazing!]]></body>
