But the FBI has always been in the political spotlight—its history is dotted with episodes that have come under heavy scrutiny, from its surveillance of civil rights leaders during the 1960s to the methods it employs to combat domestic terrorism in the post-9/11 era. And all the while, FBI agents and offices across the country continue to investigate a wide range of lawbreaking, from organized crime (in all its facets) to white-collar crime and corruption by public officials.Scholarly introduction that places the FBI and its operations in broad law enforcement contextAuthoritative entries that cover all aspects of FBI operations and historyInformative primary sources that illuminate important FBI policies, cases, and controversiesChronology of events highlighting important dates in FBI history
