"The Birth of the FBI" by Willard Oliver explores the surprising origins of America's premier law enforcement agency, revealing that it was established in 1908 under President Theodore Roosevelt amidst a political dispute between the executive and legislative branches. Contrary to common beliefs, its creation was driven by issues like land fraud enforcement rather than solely fighting crime. This book offers a compelling look into the political struggles that shaped the early history of the FBI and sheds light on an often overlooked chapter of American history.
