Provocative, extremely interesting, scrupulously accurate book by Pulitzer Prize winner Tim Weiner is devoted to the century-long history of the FBI and can rightfully be considered an exhaustive encyclopedia of the activities of this secret U.S. intelligence service. Relying on declassified in recent years, the author presents in the true light of the founding father of the FBI J. Edgar Hoover. Edgar Hoover. Tells how the network of agents was created and perfected. How Hoover performed almost unthinkable tasks: carried out surveillance of the leaders of the Soviet Union and China in the darkest period of the Cold War, controlled coups against democratically elected leaders of foreign countries, skillfully destabilized the presidents of the United States. How waged political warfare and managed state affairs for national security purposes, often acting at the expense of morality. In analyzing the efforts of FBI leaders in the war against terrorists, spies, anarchists, and assassins, Tim Weiner raises the important moral question of whether society is willing to give up the guarantees of liberty and allow the illegal intrusion of intelligence agents into the private lives of citizens for promises of security.
