The author are husband and wife. Anthony Bruce Summers (born 21 December 1942) is an Irish author. He is a Pulitzer Prize Finalist and has written ten best-selling non-fiction books. Summers, an Irish citizen, has for more than thirty years been working with Robbyn Swan, who became his co-author and fourth wife. Summers became the BBC's youngest Producer at 24, traveling worldwide and sending filmed reports from the United States, across Central and Latin America, and the conflicts in Vietnam, the Middle East, and Africa. A main focus was on the momentous events of the 1960s and 1970s in the United States – such as on-the-spot reports, during 1968, on the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and on Robert F. Kennedy's bid for the presidency. He smuggled cameras into the then Soviet Union to obtain the only TV interview with dissident physicist Andrei Sakharov – when he was under house arrest, having just won the 1975 Nobel Peace Prize. Since the mid-1970s he has concentrated on investigative non-fiction, sometimes taking four to five years to complete a book – conducting in-depth research, combining digging in the documentary record with exhaustive interviewing. Swan was hired by Anthony Summers to conduct research for his book Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J Edgar Hoover, a biography of the powerful long-time Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Swan also worked as a researcher for author John le Carré on his book, The Night Manager. More

Chicago, IL: Ivan R. Dee Publisher, 2002. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. vii, [3], 307, [3] pages. Footnotes. Notes. Index. This work raises urgent new uncertainties about the FBI's behavior--and about the prospects for its expanded powers of surveillance. Redefines the politics of the World War II and Cold War eras, moving the debate beyond the narrow perspective triggered by the release of KGB records. The real issue is the failure of the FBI to apprehend and convict Soviet agents. In gathering evidence through illegal means, the Bureau provided the Justice Department with information that it was unable to use in court against suspected spies.
