Birth of the FBI: Teddy Roosevelt, the secret service, and the fight over America's premier law enforcement agency
(Book)
Description
Most people believe the Federal Bureau of Investigation began under J. Edgar Hoover in the 1920s or 1930s. Many also naturally assume it was developed for the express purpose of fighting crime. The truth of the matter is the premier law enforcement agency in the United States was actually created because of a political fight between the executive and legislative branches of government. The Birth of the FBI: Teddy Roosevelt, the Secret Service, and the Fight Over America's Premier Law Enforcement reveals the true story behind the birth of the FBI and provides some useful insight into an important part of our American history.
