Operational Manual for CTU Agents

This book offers a truly original approach to the phenomenon of the highly popular television series 24. The illustrated guide takes the reader behind the scenes of the Counter Terrorist Unit (C.T.U.), outlining all the steps required to become an elite agent, similar to Jack Bauer.

Designed as a practical manual for any new agent wishing to join the organization, the book explains how to interrogate and "turn" a terrorist, live under a false identity, follow a suspect without being detected, negotiate in hostage situations, defuse a bomb, and even simulate one's own death, among other things.

The book is extensively illustrated with color photographs taken from the first six seasons, accompanied by summaries of each story arc. The result is a lively, effective, and captivating read.
