Anderson begins by recalling the origins of their battles in the 1950s when he irked the FBI chief by exposing the scope of the Mafia. It was a threat that Hoover had previously downplayed, and the expose earned the columnist the permanent enmity of Hoover. Anderson also tells of Hoover's retaliation and continual harassment, which lasted into the 1970s, and reflects on the controversies surrounding Hoover's personal life.

Good analysis of the damage Hanssen did to the counterintelligence program.

Blackstock, N. (1988). COINTELPRO: The FBI's Secret War on Political Freedom. New York: Pathfinder Press. Call Number: HV 8144 .F43B57
Abstract: This book provides an in-depth look at the covert and illegal FBI counterintelligence program code-named COINTELPRO. Much of what is known about this decades-long political disruption program is the result of evidence forced to light through a lawsuit brought by the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) against FBI spying, harassment, and disruption. Filed in 1973 at the height of the Watergate crisis, the suit was settled 13 years later when a federal judge ruled in favor of the SWP and YSA. The COINTELPRO operations described in this book provide an unprecedented look at the methods used by the FBI, CIA, military intelligence, and other US police agencies.

Abstract: Here is the extraordinary true story of the FBI agent whose tireless pursuit of justice brought down the most powerful Mafia families in New York--and forever revolutionized the investigative procedures of the FBI.

He tells how he put together his "band of revolutionaries," including technical wizard Jim Kallstrom who set up the first Gambino wiretap that led to the downfall of the boss of bosses, Paul Castellano; Louie Freeh, who would one day become FBI director; and Joe Pistone, who for six years posed as wiseguy Donnie Brasco and whose testimony would fracture the Bonanno crime family.

DeLoach paints a portrait of Hoover different from any yet revealed-and one that will ring true to objective readers, while disappointing both rabid Hoover haters and uncritical Hoover worshipers.

Abstract: Author and attorney John O'Connor breaks the story revealing Mark Felt as "Deep Throat," the FBI source who provided much information to the Washington Post for their Watergate story which led to the resignation of Richard Nixon. O'Connor's original article, which appeared in the July 2005 issue of Vanity Fair, is expanded in this book.

O'Connor weaves the Felt book with additional materials, including interviews with former FBI officials. A complementary book to this one is Bob Woodward’s 2005 The Secret Man: The Story of Watergate's Deep Throat where he discusses his relationship with Felt and how the Watergate events unfolded from his perspective.

Abstract: This book raises the curtain on the Bureau's secret attempts to undermine and demonize the nationwide network of individuals and protest groups opposed to the Reagan Administration's Central America policies and programs. The author demonstrates that the more than 200 verified instances of break-in, burglaries, death threats, harassment, and arson cannot be viewed, as many preferred, as a series of scattered horror stores; this campaign must be recognized as a unified plot to eliminate critics and opponents of Reagan's Central American initiatives.

Abstract: Special Agent Richard Miller, a member in bad standing with the FBI's Los Angeles Office, was short, fat, addicted to candy bars and sold Amway products on company time. Though ludicrously incompetent, he dreamed of becoming the first FBI agent to penetrate the KGB. At the core of his scheme was an affair with addled, heavy-drinking Svetlana Ogorodnikova, whom he naively believed would pave the way of his infiltration into the Soviet spy network. But he made the mistake of not telling his superiors what he was up to and on October 3, 1984, Miller was arrested and charged with espionage.

Jeffreys-Jones feels certain successes of the Bureau, such as its success against organized crime, are tainted by the Bureau's inability to obtain equity in it ranks of agents.
