Baker. 264 1 $a New York ; $b Bombardier Books, $c [2022] 300 $a xx, 347 pages : $b illustrations ; $c 24 cm 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 520 $a "An FBI veteran explains how the Mueller-Comey cabal turned the FBI from a "swear to tell the truth" law-enforcement agency to a politicized intelligence organization. Americans have lost faith in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an institution they once regarded as the world's greatest law-enforcement agency. Thomas Baker spent many years with the FBI and is deeply troubled by this loss of faith. Specific lapses have come to light and each is thoroughly discussed in this book: Why did they happen? What changed? The answer begins days after the 9/11 attacks when the FBI underwent a significant change in culture. To understand how far the Bureau has fallen, this book shows the crucial role played by the FBI and its agents in past decades. It was quite often, as the reader will see from these firsthand experiences, a fun-filled adventure with exciting skyjackings, kidnappings, and bank robberies. At the same time, the reader will see the reverence the Bureau had for the Constitution and the concern agents held for the rights of each American. This book is not mere memoir--it is history. From the shooting of President Reagan and the death of Princess Diana to the TWA 800 crash and even getting marching orders from St. Mother Teresa, Baker's story shows how the FBI has played a pivotal role in our country's history." --Amazon.com. 610 10 $a United States. $b Federal Bureau of Investigation $x History. 610 17 $a United States. $b Federal Bureau of Investigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00528882 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 3 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010723.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230307010657.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230202011230.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E8B6584A2C711ED850ED7DB26ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
