Enemies: A History of the FBI

This is the first definitive history of the FBI’s secret intelligence operations, from an author whose work on the Pentagon and the CIA won him the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. The consensus opinion of the CIA is that it operates as America’s police force. But secret intelligence is the Bureau’s first and foremost mission. This book tells the story of how presidents have used the FBI to conduct political warfare, and how the Bureau became the most powerful intelligence service the United States possesses.
