DJ: Near Fine; edge bumps of cover at head and heel of spine; slight rubbing. Black boards and spine with bright gold lettering on spine. 288 pp. With the FBI at the epicenter of the war on terrorism, no institution is as critically important to America's security and until now, no book has presented the full story of the FBI from its beginnings in 1908 to the present.
