The bureau

“Kessler focuses on the agents who have made its cases and the directors who have run the bureau, from Hoover through Louis Freeh and Robert Mueller. In doing so, he probes the relationship between the FBI and American presidents, and the tension that exists between a free society and what amounts to a national police force. … ‘The Bureau’ tells the richly detailed story of a uniquely powerful institution, its profound impact on American society, and how it has changed since September 11.” -Publisher
