  • "Kritische geschiedenis van de binnenlandse veiligheidsdienst van de Verenigde Staten, het Federal Bureau of Investigation."
  • ""El premio Pulitzer Tim Weiner nos cuenta la historia definitiva del FBI. La Oficina Federal de Investigación estadounidense se fundó hace un siglo y en pocos años se convirtió en un servicio de inteligencia a disposición de las necesidades políticas de los presidentes republicanos y demócratas y de sus gobiernos. Durante cerca de cincuenta años, bajo la dirección de J. Edgar Hoover, la agencia actuó con total impunidad y cometió tremendos abusos de poder en nombre de la libertad, la democracia y la justicia. Arrestos y detenciones ilegales, escuchas, robos, espionaje, todo estaba permitido para luchar contra los enemigos del Estado. Basándose en setenta mil documentos recientemente desclasificados, cientos de entrevistas y materiales no disponibles hasta el momento, el autor desvela datos sorprendentes, desacredita viejos mitos sobre el FBI y cuestiona las técnicas de vigilancia que violan las libertades individuales en pro de la seguridad nacional." --P. [4] of cover."
