Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive guide explains what kinds of documents the FBI holds, where they are located, and how to gain access to them. The FBI has investigated a vast range of activities: communism, civil rights and antiwar protests, organised crime, political corruption, terrorists, and even foreign espionage. The massive amount of documentation produced on countless cases is divided into hundreds of major classifications. Now under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), more of these valuable records are open to researchers than ever before. Haines and Langbart provide a focused description of the contents of every one of the more than 278 classifications the bureau uses to organise its efforts. They also include descriptions of special, unclassified records, and a full explanation of the FOIA, with a sample letter requesting access under the act; FBI organisational charts; a sample showing how the bureau sanitises documents; and other information.

Book excerpt: An impressive dossier of red-hot cases from the files of the FBI and other independent sources compiled by an author who knows how to pick 'em―an IRS agent ventures into a second career as a devious kidnapper, a Bible quoting writer wannabe decides to hijack a 747, a musician and piano teacher moonlights as a serial killer, or, how about this one, the P.F.F., Inc. -- the Police-FBI-Fencing, Incognito -- a cooperative effort of four law enforcement agencies who pose as Mafioso in an illicit purchasing establishment that collars crooks and becomes astonishingly successful. In yet another dimension, Tully presents an inside account of the restructuring of the FBI under the leadership of William H. Webster. Before Webster took command in 1978, the agency had been involved in questionable practices that involved actions such as the political vendetta against Martin Luther King, Jr., the gathering of information about the private lives of members of Congress, and illegal tactics against political dissidents. One acting director of the FBI had been indicted, and the scandal of Watergate permeated the agency. Andrew Tully covered the White House, the FBI, and the CIA from 1948 to 1980, and was the winner of both the Ernie Pyle and the Headliners' Awards. The cases reported in Inside the FBI were compiled during those years and are loaded with quotes and quips and substantial details. An intriguing book from an ace newspaperman with a gift for turning American history into a great read.

Book excerpt: The federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a national agency dedicated to investigation federal crimes. Founded as a small team of special agents on July 26, 1908, the Bureau was first charged with enforcing the growing body of federal laws covering the United States as a whole. Almost from the beginning of its 100-year history, the Bureau has been the subject of legend and controversy. It has also evolved into a vast and sophisticated national law-enforcement agency. Whether as a federal crime-fighting force or a source of investigative support of local and state police forces, the modern FBI strives to embody its ideals of fidelity, bravery, and integrity. How did the FBI capture the Oklahoma City bomber in just two days? How did it track down the killer of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in just a few weeks? Why did it take years to solve the infamous 1950 Brink's robbery? How have ordinary citizens helped bring down the nation's most wanted criminals? Whether it takes careful forensic science, years of investigative work, a carefully laid trap, or a timely tip, the FBI uses every tool at its disposal to catch the targets of its investigations.

Download or read book Cloak and Gavel written by Alexander Charns and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The separation of powers becomes a meaningless cliche as Alexander Charns - using the Federal Bureau of Investigation's own files - reveals how that agency undermined the independence of the U.S. Supreme Court for a half-century. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover's goal was simple: to push the Supreme Court to the right on issues of civil rights and criminal law. His techniques ranged from illegal wiretapping to spreading disinformation, from using Justice Abe Fortas as an informant to trying to hound liberal Justice William O. Douglas off the bench. Cloak and Gavel, the definitive work on the FBI-Supreme Court relationship, is based on thousands of pages of FBI documents that Charns fought for eight years to obtain. One 2,000-page file was released only after he filed hundreds of Freedom of Information requests and brought lawsuits against the FBI. It establishes Hoover's strategies to influence the Senate confirmation process, incite the public against the Warren court, lobby for legislation to counteract judicial rulings, and use numerous informants inside the Court to both monitor and influence it. Charns was given special permission to conduct research using Justice Abe Fortas's papers, which had been sealed until the year 2000. These papers proved Fortas had acted as an informer for the White House and for the FBI during his tenure on the bench. Fortas ultimately left the Court in disgrace after an ethics scandal unrelated to his informant role. Charns also suggests that Hoover's death did not end the FBI's attempts to influence Congress and the federal judiciary - as evidenced by the role of the FBI in the explosive Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill Senate hearings in 1991. Until now, no onehas examined the ultimate constitutional violation - the FBI's attempts to influence the Court by any means available.

Download or read book The FBI s Obscene File written by Douglas M. Charles and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do pop artist Andy Warhol, sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, and cinematic comedians Abbott & Costello have in common? They all found a prominent place in the FBI's "Obscene File." In this startling new study Douglas Charles reveals how, for more than seventy years, FBI officials placed obscenity, pornography, and the politics of morality among their topmost concerns. Illuminating this largely neglected aspect of FBI history, Charles charts the evolution of the Bureau's efforts to combat the spread of obscenity and its perceived insidious effects. He contends that, especially during the five decades under J. Edgar Hoover, these efforts became a surprisingly high priority and at times were expressly wielded for political ends, even as Hoover hid the file from public view in order to preserve the Bureau's squeaky-clean image. Charles recounts how the "Obscene File" was conceived and organized by Hoover and describes its contents, which included magazines, films, and artwork in addition to dossiers on offenders. He examines the FBI's targeting of 1940s and '50s "race music" with its depictions of "lewd and licentious acts in obscene and foul language." He describes how the FBI collected photos of activities at gay bars and prosecuted businesses that published "obscene" pro-gay magazines, and how it participated in the "Lavender Scare" that targeted gays in the federal government. He also details the FBI's efforts to short-circuit the distribution of the film Deep Throat and disrupt the pornographic movie industry. On the political front, Charles tells how Hoover found a fellow crusader in Richard Nixon, who hijacked the obscenity issue to rally an electoral base weary of an "anything-goes" decade. But as changing mores and laws redefined obscenity, subsequent directors moved away from Hoover's approach and focused more on mob control of pornography, kiddie porn, and the war on drugs. Subsequently, the "Obscene File" mostly fell into disuse during the presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, the latter president unable to gain any traction with his own obscenity initiatives. Taking in the whole scope of these operations, Charles's insightful history offers a previously unseen look at a major facet of FBI activities and contributes significantly to our understanding of Hoover and his legacy.
