“The Secrets of the FBI<\/a>” is the second audio book by Ronald Kessler that I’ve listened to. \u00a0I enjoyed it much more than “In the President’s Secret Service<\/a>“. \u00a0This one covers the history of the FBI in much more detail, and provides both insider’s perspective and a bird’s eye view of how the FBI was created, evolved and got the where it is now.<\/p>\n

One thing that I found very interesting was how much an impact each of the directors had on the development of the FBI, and how different these were. \u00a0 Also, descriptions of technology evolution in the FBI were particularly interesting to me. \u00a0The state of the computeres by the 9\/11 was especially depressing. \u00a0I nearly couldn’t believe what I was hearing…<\/p>\n

Overall, I’d recommend this book to anyone interested in law enforcement history, government projects, and special tactical units.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
