註釋Agent Box is story of Anthony Box's journey from Chicago's impoverished South Side to his career with the FBI. He was raised by a single mother and, at age 16, was shot while trying to catch a mugger. He survived and went on to attend the elite, historically black Morehouse College in Atlanta. He was a tank commander in the Army's celebrated 1st Infantry Division, and then began a career as a forensic computer expert with the FBI, where he was one of only a handful of black special agents. While with the FBI, Box investigated white-collar crime and participated in the investigation of the September 11th World Trade Center attacks. Box gives a unique look inside the FBI, including his role in investigating the famed kidnapping of Missouri teen Shawn Hornbeck, the fatal plane crash that killed Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan, and the process of tracking and catching child pornographers. Box went on to earn a law degree, as well as a master's degree from Harvard's Kennedy School, and he is currently an investigator for a congressional commission on military contract fraud. He has just finished a tour of duty in Iraq as a judge advocate general. Anthony Box's story is an inspirational African American memoir of achievement in the face of poverty, racism, and violence.
