Description
The Threat Matrix Inside Robert Mueller's FBI and the War on Global Terror This book provides an in-depth look at the transformation of the FBI over more than 30 years, from the 1980s to Obama's presidency. It explores how the agency evolved from a domestic law enforcement agency to an international intelligence agency, with agents operating in over 60 countries, fighting extremist terrorism, cyber crimes, and American suicide bombers. Based on unprecedented access to task forces, FBI bases, and hundreds of interviews, Garrett M. Graff takes readers inside the FBI's efforts to protect America from the Munich Olympics in 1972 to the attempted Times Square bombing in 2010. The book also delves into the behind-the-scenes fights with the CIA, the Department of Justice, and five White Houses over how to combat terrorism, balance civil liberties, and preserve security. A unique and suspensefully told account, The Threat Matrix offers a never-before-seen intimate look at FBI Director Robert Mueller, the most important director since Hoover himself.
