More About This Book

Overview

By the age of twenty-four, Frank Dux was already an internationally renowned and controversial figure in the martial arts, holding numerous world martial arts records. Dux was the only Occidental to win the no-holds-barred Kumite competition. But this very public figure - the real-life subject of the Jean-Claude Van Damme film Bloodsport - also had a hidden career known to few. Recruited by Bill Casey himself, Dux became the U.S. government's best, most secret weapon. "I want you mean and nasty," said Casey. Dux followed his orders. In The Secret Man, Frank Dux reveals for the first time the shocking truth of his top-secret missions for the CIA. Dux's assignments were outside normal channels, free from Washington's pencil-pushing bureaucrats, deniable by the powers-that-be. But Dux paid a high price for this independence. At any moment he could be left out in the cold, unprotected by the very people he worked for, his work unacknowledged, his life in jeopardy. Intense early training in the martial arts by a demanding Japanese teacher gave Frank Dux a rare mental and physical discipline that served him well in the notoriously dangerous arena of intelligence gathering. The third generation of his family involved in intelligence work, Dux also had extensive ties to the world of international organized crime. The CIA utilized Frank Dux's extraordinary skills around the globe. Dux gained legendary status on both sides of the Iron Curtain, even receiving the rank of captain in the Soviet Army. The Secret Man recounts Frank Dux's never-before-told stories: A series of seemingly random murders across the United States, each with a clue left behind suggesting that the murderer was an exceptionally resourceful, terrifyingly lethal member of the intelligence community; as U.S. forces prepare to invade Grenada, Dux and his Soviet counterparts travel to the Caribbean island to search for a stolen bioweapon in - of all places - a psychiatric ward; betrayed by a colleague, Du

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
It's hard to tell whether the author is merely posturing or expressing his fantasy life in a memoir that reads as if patterned on the early paperback Avenger series. Dux describes himself as 'sleek and agile,' a professional martial artist 'considered by many the fastest human alive,' a man able to break bullet-proof glass with a blow from his bare hand, 'a great hunter.' He was a contract operative for William Casey, who supposedly recruited him in a urinal after introducing himself as 'head of the fucking CIA.' The missions Dux recounts include killing a mass murderer and aiding the U.S.S.R. in investigating what proved to be a scam anthrax scare. He writes sketchily of the Iran-Contra scandal. He also relates a bit of his background, a heritage of forebears in the Hagganah and Mossad. Dux attempts to settle scores as well, disputing exposés of his martial-arts prowess that appeared in the Los Angeles Times and in various magazines. Telling of his recent surgery for brain tumors, he speculates that his affliction and the tumor that killed Casey in 1987 could have been instigated through a bioagent. Dux stresses that, as a CIA operative, he worked 'on the edge of a psychological razor'-which, with this tell-all, slips. FYI: The film Bloodsport was based on Dux's life.
