Review Quotes:
"His volumes (and presumably forthcoming third volume)...make a significant contribution to our ever-evolving understanding of the FBI and its deep interest in a seemingly inexhaustible array of subjects. If the FBI files that are the basis of these books were either eventually scanned and posted online or deposited in a library, Gutiérrez's goal of resurrecting these histories would advance considerably. I am confident, as an FBI scholar myself, that these important works will augment future comprehensive histories of the FBI." --Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books
""Jose Angel Gutierrez, achieved in his book an exemplary research work which shows extraordinary tenacity. His originality resulted in the revelation of the abuse of power and impunity carefully documented as the institutionalization of racism and ideological obsessions, in addition to a historical account of internal policies of ethnic hate on the part of the F.B.I."" --Jorge A. Bustamante, Professor Emeritus, The University of Notre Dame
