Triumph in Kleptomadia: the Cia and a Hunt for Loose Nukes James Brody Watt

Dangerous meetings with underworld operators and a world on the brink of catastrophe characterize the life of Dominick Kucera, the CIA's Station Chief in the Balkan country of Kleptomadia, when he identifies a nuclear terrorist threat. His reports to Washington of the danger are met with skepticism and denial, Kucera is forced to take on not only the enemy but his own government to avert disaster. Aided by Kleptomaida's shady Commander Zero, Kucera and his team fight brain dead Washington bureaucracy, a Senator who feels snubbed, embassy politics, and larcenous and violent local officials - all the while facing the threat of skilled and deadly radical Islamists. Kucera's small staff is determined to do the right thing regardless of government incompetence, even if it leads to a global confrontation that threatens everything they hold dear. A suspenseful, high-octane thriller with the satire of Richard Hooker's M*A*S*H* and Joseph Heller's Catch-22, James Brody Watt delivers an insightful, entertaining, and uproarious depiction of bureaucratic thinking undone by reason and integrity. A laugh-out-loud ride to the brink of disaster, Triumph in Kleptomadia: The CIA and a Hunt for Loose Nukes is an epic encounter between a deadly enemy, selfless heroes, and idiotic public servants who try to make sure the whole deal is botched up and covered up.
