Confessions of A Spy- The Real Story of Aldrich Ames:
For nine years he fed highly classified information to the
KGB. Russia paid him millions of dollars--and promised
millions more. He betrayed the identities of the United
States' top agents. An act that led to their executions
inside the Soviet Union... Never before in American history
has one man done so much to sabotage our national security.
Pete Earley is the only writer to conduct fifty hours of
one-on-one interviews with CIA mole Aldrich Ames, without a
government censor present.

Super Casino- Inside the 'New' Las Vegas:
What's "new" about Vegas? Plenty. Just ask
journalist Early, who files a complete and compelling report
on the transformation Las Vegas has undergone over the past
decade or two. First, some facts: in the 1990s, Vegas
overtook Walt Disney World as the most popular tourist
destination in the country; also in the 1990s, Las Vegas
became the fastest-growing city in the U.S. The
"new" Vegas, then, is a tremendous resort city
unlike any other.

Circumstantial Evidence:
Pete Earley's The Hot House gave America a
riveting, uncompromising look at the nation's most notorious
prison--the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas--a
book that Kirkus Reviews called a "fascinating
white-knuckle tour of hell, brilliantly reported." Now
Earley shows us a different, even more intimate view of
justice--and injustice--American-style.

Family of Spies: Inside the John Walker Spy Ring:
What distinguishes 'Family of Spies' is that Pete Earley, a former reporter for The
Washington Post, uses Mr. Walker's words not to try to understand him but to
expose his superficially slick but profoundly distorted mind. The result is an
unusually penetrating portrait of the banality of evil, of a psychology that
usually defies intimate understanding--the narcissist whose rationalizations
makehis wrongdoing seem almost normal. . . . Though paced and organized as
seamlessly as a novel, 'Family of Spies' is nevertheless a thoroughly
researched andunblurred work of nonfiction. Mr. Earley has a reporter's
evenhandedness, attimes to the point of failing to explain or at least
underline inconsistency or incompetence, particularly on the part of the F.B.I.
