Very Good History of the FBI
|
The FBI is a meticulously researched book about an American institution. Unlike most other FBI books, the focus is not on J. Edgar Hoover, but on what might be called the rest of the FBI story. The book covers the origins of the FBI beginning with the creation of the Secret Service during the Civil War and the growth of federal law enforcement leading to the creation of the FBI in 1908.
This book makes some surprising findings such as the fact that as of September 10, 2001, there were only 6 Muslim FBI agents and only 21 FBI agents who could speak Arabic. This was a major factor in the success of the terrorists on 9/11. Another factor was the lack of communications and cooperation with the CIA.
This is a great book about the FBI. Its only weakness is a lack of detailed info about J. Edgar Hoover the man and whatever illegal activities that he was up to. |
