Gee but I'd Like to be a G-Man@@@J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and the Secrets.@@@From the Secret Files of J. Edgar Hoover.

Michael Wreszin; Curt Gentry; Athan Theoharis

Documents from the late FBI directors secret files reveal for the first time the shocking extent of FBI activities in spying on prominent Americans and political groups.

The FBI and the Politics of Surveillance, 1908-1985

Athan Theoharis

This article surveys the history of the Federal Bureau of Investigation since its creation in 1908, focusing on the Hoover years and emphasizing the importance of political surveillance in the Bureaus growth. Although it was the expansion of the federal governments regulatory role that initially, and until 1936, increased FBI personnel and influence, it was the Bureaus public relations efforts and monitoring of political dissent-as well as J. Edgar Hoovers ability to immunize FBI investigations from external scrutiny-that were more important in the FBIs evolution into a powerful, effectively autonomous agency, which in the process offered a fundamental challenge to a political system based on accountability.
