The Spy Who Couldn't Spell A Dyslexic Traitor, an Unbreakable Code, and the FBI's Hunt for America's Stolen Secrets by Yudhijit Bhattacharjee

It's the story of a dyslexic intelligence analyst in the U.S. who stole thousands of satellite images and other documents from the National Reconnaissance Office and hatched an ingenious plot to sell them to Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, encrypting the coordinates of the locations in two state parks outside Washington, D.C., where he buried the secrets. The combination of his inventive brilliance and comic ineptitude -- one FBI agent named him Mr. Eighty Percent -- is what drew me to him as a character.
