Among the charges documented in this book: FBI and DEA expanded surveillance networks encompass average citizens rather than criminals. The failing War on Drugs takes over half of Justice's budget. FBI Director Freeh pushes misleading ad campaign about crime in the United States. Justice fails to investigate presidential pals. Surreptitious entry teams break into offices, houses, and warehouses to plant hidden cameras and mikes. Condition: very good, very good.
