Book Description
Documents from the late FBI directors secret files reveal for the first time the shocking extent of FBI activities in spying on prominent Americans and political groups. A grimly fascinating—and profoundly disturbing—self-exposure by one of the false American deities of the 20th century. —Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
