Landmark Book #46. Why was the Federal Bureau of Investigation established? What are its functions? How does it track down bank robbers, spies, and saboteurs whose names and faces are unknown? What can a young man do to become a G-man? In this book, Reynolds answers these and many other questions as he describes the important work of the FBI. Writing vividly about famous cases that have involved notorious kidnappers, Nazi saboteurs, and Communist spies, he shows that the unusual and dramatic are part of the everyday work of J. Edgar Hoover and his agents.
