Praise for Phase Line Green

JAMES A. MCGEE

“Special Agent McGee offers the public a glimpse at the dedicated law enforcement officers who, without hesitation, risk their own lives to save the lives of others. The special agents who comprise the FBI HRT embody the spirit of fidelity, bravery, and integrity shared by all FBI agents. The HRT motto “Servare Vitas - To Save Lives” is testimony to this creed. There are many success stories that are often overlooked because nothing went wrong. The FCI Talladega Hostage Rescue is definitely one of those. This account captures the essence of law enforcement on the front lines. Every American needs to know who’s guarding their freedom and the sacrifice associated with performing this duty.” - Former FBI Director William Sessions

“Jim McGee is a national treasure, a genuine hero, and shrewd observer of the human condition. PLG takes us through the breach point with raw honesty and rich detail. This is a man’s book in a boy’s world.” - Andrew Lenchewski, Producer

“Phase Line Green, a major contribution to the history of the FBI HRT, is written with an insider’s knowledge of a true-life event about real FBI agents.” - Don Zembiec, Special Agent FBI (retired)

“Jim McGee has captured the essence of being on the front lines of a national counterterrorism team. His description of the day-to-day realities and preparations that go into a successful hostage rescue are detailed throughout this gripping text. All the elements are here - from the serious to the lighter side. This is a must read for anyone interested in what it is like to part of the “tip of the spear” - David S. Corderman, PhD, Former Member, FBI Hostage Rescue Team

“A taut gripping account of the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team’s brilliantly executed rescue of hostages held by ruthless Mariel Cubans at Talladega - - the FBI at its best and a story well told by one of the team’s assaulters.” - Former AG William Barr

“My intent when writing this book, was to provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the FBI as well as the HRT. I wanted to honor those individuals who dedicate their lives to preserving freedom.”

“I wanted to describe the intense indoctrination that goes into becoming an operator and member of the HRT. I also wanted people to see the human toll and sacrifice associated with an assignment like the FCI Talladega hostage rescue”
