About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: St. Martin's Press, 2002 St. Martin's Press, New York. 2002. Hardcover. First Printing. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Near Fine; edge bumps of cover at head and heel of spine; slight rubbing. Black boards and spine with bright gold lettering on spine. 288 pp. With the FBI at the epicenter of the war on terrorism, no institution is as critically important to America's security and until now, no book has presented the full story of the FBI from its beginnings in 1908 to the present. The author probes the relationship between American presidents and the tension that exists between a free society and what amounts to a national police force. A richly detailed story of a uniquely powerful institution. A clean pristine copy.
