This textbook reader discusses the importance of organization and reorganization in the contemporary structure of the American federal government. First, it deals with the decision to change structural arrangements within the bureaucracy. Through a range of conceptual readings, it explores why reorganization and changing the structure of government continues to happen, allowing the reader to understand the multiple and often conflicting goals involved in changing organizational structure.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the Nation's premier law enforcement organisation responsible for gathering and reporting facts and compiling evidence in cases involving federal jurisdiction. It has broad jurisdiction in federal law enforcement and in national security, and is a statutory member of the US Intelligence Community. From its official inception in 1908, the FBI's mission, jurisdiction, and resources have grown substantially in parallel with the real or perceived threats to American society, culture, political institutions, and overall security. In 2003 the organisation has approximately 26,000 employees, about 12,000 of whom are Special Agents. The FBI has had many successes in countering criminal and hostile foreign intelligence and terrorist activity in its storied history. However, in its zeal to protect US national security, the FBI occasionally exceeded its mandate and infringed upon the protected rights of US citizens. Currently, the FBI is undergoing a massive reorganisation to shift its culture from reaction to crimes already committed to detection, deterrence and prevention of terrorist attacks against US interests. The FBI continues to be a major domestic and international force in the war against terrorism. This new book covers such issues as: Can the FBI sufficiently adapt its law enforcement culture to deter, detect, and prevent terrorism; Should some of the FBI's criminal jurisdiction be devolved to state and local law enforcement; Should a statutory charter for the FBI be developed; and Does the planned co-location of the FBI's operational Counterterrorism Division with the newly formed Terrorist Threat Integration Center provide an opportunity for foreign intelligence entities to engage in domestic intelligence activities.

"The cumulative effect is overwhelming. Eleanor Roosevelt was right: Hoover’s FBI was an American gestapo." —Newsweek Shocking, grim, frightening, Curt Gentry’s masterful portrait of America’s top policeman is a unique political biography. From more than 300 interviews and over 100,000 pages of previously classified documents, Gentry reveals exactly how a paranoid director created the fraudulent myth of an invincible, incorruptible FBI. For almost fifty years, Hoover held virtually unchecked public power, manipulating every president from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Richard Nixon. He kept extensive blackmail files and used illegal wiretaps and hidden microphones to destroy anyone who opposed him. The book reveals how Hoover helped create McCarthyism, blackmailed the Kennedy brothers, and influenced the Supreme Court; how he retarded the civil rights movement and forged connections with mobsters; as well as insight into the Watergate scandal and what part he played in the investigations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
