This provocative, highly engaging, and meticulously researched book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tim Weiner explores the century-long history of the FBI and can rightfully be considered a definitive encyclopedia of the activities of this secret US intelligence agency. Drawing on files declassified in recent years, the author presents the FBI's founding father, J. Edgar Hoover, in his true light.

He reveals how the spy network was created and refined. How Hoover carried out almost unimaginable missions: spying on the leaders of the Soviet Union and China during the darkest period of the Cold War, overseeing coups against democratically elected foreign leaders, and skillfully destabilizing the position of US presidents. How he waged political warfare and managed state affairs for the sake of national security, often at the expense of morality.

By examining the efforts of FBI officials in the war against terrorists, spies, anarchists, and assassins, Tim Weiner raises an important moral question about whether society is willing to give up guarantees of freedom and allow intelligence agents to illegally penetrate citizens' private lives for the sake of promises of security.
