Provocative, extremely interesting, meticulously researched book by Pulitzer Prize winner Tim Weiner is dedicated to the century-long history of the FBI and can rightfully be considered a comprehensive encyclopedia of the activities of this secret intelligence service of the United States. Drawing on declassified files from recent years, the author sheds light on the true nature of the FBI's founding father, J. Edgar Hoover. He tells the story of how the intelligence network was created and perfected. How Hoover carried out almost unimaginable tasks: conducting surveillance on the leaders of the Soviet Union and China during the darkest period of the Cold War, controlling state coups against democratically elected leaders of foreign countries, skillfully destabilizing the positions of United States presidents. How he waged a political war and managed state affairs in the name of national security, often acting at the expense of morality. Analyzing the efforts of FBI leaders in the war against terrorists, spies, anarchists, and hired killers, Tim Weiner raises an important moral question about whether society is willing to give up guarantees of freedom, allow illegal penetration of intelligence agents into citizens' personal lives in exchange for promises of security.
