Paperback Description:
Ward Churchill and Jim Vander Wall’s expos of America’s political police force, the FBI, reveals the steel fist undergirding “compassionate conservatism’s” velvet glove. Using original FBI memos, the authors provide an extensive analysis of the agency’s treatment of the left, from the Communist Party in the 1950s to the Central America solidarity movement in the 1980s. The authors’ new introduction posits likely trajectories for domestic repression.
