My FBI Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton, and Fighting the War on Terror

The FBI that Louis Freeh took over in the summer of 1993 was still reeling from the bloody standoff at Ruby Ridge and the conflagration at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. Unpopular, underfunded, and understaffed, the Bureau was creeping along in the technological Dark Ages. For eight years, Louis Freeh would fight tooth and nail to turn the FBI around. Clear-eyed and frank, My FBI takes readers inside law enforcement at the highest level and shows how a dedicated, apolitical professional faced down the absurdities of Beltway politics and repeatedly put himself on the line for a mission few others in Washington took seriously before September 11: ensuring the safety of the American people.
