Description
More than ever before in the Nation's history, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is in the news and in the public consciousness as the chief bulwark against the spread of crime and Communism in the United States. There are drama, excitement, painstaking research, courage, and patriotism in the work of the FBI, and all of it comes out in John J Floherty's exciting book Our FBI - An Inside Story.
During the years since publication of Mr. Floherty's Inside the FBI, which has been this well-known author's most popular book, the activities of the FBI have undergone tremendous expansion. History and headlines have been made by G-men, there have been many advances in the science of crime detection, and the challenge in the rising tide of subversive activity has been effectively met by the Bureau. An up-to-the-minute book about the new FBI for young people and their elders was needed - a book which would not only tell the whole story of this vitally important governmental agency, but would also cover the career opportunities for young people in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Mr. Floherty was the one man to do it - and Our FBI - An Inside Story is the book.
This completely new book, replacing Inside the FBI, absorbing, exciting, instructive, and authentic, was read and approved in manuscript form by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Sixteen pages of photographic illustrations.
Taken from the inside front flap.
Foreword by J Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI.
