My FBI

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

De: Louis J. Freeh

Narrado por: Adam Grupper

Louis Freeh led the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 1993 to 2001, through some of the most tumultuous times in its long history. This is the story of a life in law enforcement and of one man's determined struggle to strengthen and reform the FBI while ensuring its freedom from political interference.

Bill Clinton called Freeh a "law enforcement legend" when he nominated him as FBI Director. The good feelings would not last. Going toe-to-toe with his boss during the scandal-plagued '90s, Freeh fought hard to defend his agency from political interference and to protect America from the growing threat of international terrorism. When Clinton later called that appointment the worst one he had made as president, Freeh considered it "a badge of honor".

This is Freeh's entire story, from his Catholic upbringing in New Jersey to law school, the FBI training academy, his career as a U.S. District attorney and as a federal judge, and finally his eight years as the nation's top cop. This is the definitive account of American law enforcement in the run-up to September 11. Freeh is clear-eyed, frank, the ultimate realist, and he offers resolute vision for the struggles ahead.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Freeh goes into fascinating detail when describing the FBI's work." (Publishers Weekly)

Thank you for your service

Mr. Freeh has written an insightful and introspective book not only of his service, but those dedicated Americans who receive minimal if any recognition for their service to the preservation of our democracy. His insights are an honest and sometimes frightening light on the ineptness of those we elect to lead at all levels of our government.

An excellent read!!!

Excellent book that breaks down how to have healthy conversations about politics! I am grateful to have had an opportunity to read this book. Winning! Very educational! Thank you for breaking down the political system for all!

Great read

Great read. Would have liked more facts and history. Really enjoyed reading it. Worth recommending to anyone who enjoys history.

For those who serve-Semper Fi

There were not to many surprises in this book for those of us who chose to stay informed during the 90's. What kind of national security were we expecting from a President whoose campaign slogan was "It's the economy Stupid". At least Clinton knew to call us stupid!!!

Finally ,

Finally, an honest book about the Clinton Presidency. History will decide a final verdict about Bill and Hillary, I hope I am still here.
