NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NOW A SHOWTIME ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY SERIES
Turns the long history of the FBI into a story that is as compelling, and important, as today s headlines. Jeffrey Toobin, author of American Heiress
Enemies 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.
We think of the FBI as America s police force. But secret intelligence is the Bureau s first and foremost mission. The FBI s secret intelligence and surveillance techniques have created a tug-of-war between national security and civil liberties, a tension that strains the very fabric of a free republic. Enemies is the story of how presidents have used the FBI to conduct political warfare and how it has sometimes been turned against them. And it is the story of how the Bureau became the most powerful intelligence service the United States possesses.
Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The Washington Post, New York Daily News, and Slate
Pulitzer Prize winning author Tim Weiner has written a riveting inside account of the FBI s secret machinations that goes so deep into the Bureau s skulduggery, readers will feel they are tapping the phones along with J.
