Main Justice: The Men and Women Who Enforce the Nation's Criminial Laws and Guard Its Liberties

Przednia okładka
Simon and Schuster, 8 lip 1997 - 400
Award-winning investigative reporters journey inside the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice to see how the powerful law enforcement agency fights America's war on crime.

This perceptive examination reveals how the Justice Department operates--from its role in history to critical evaluations of its wars against the Cali cocaine cartel, violent gangs in Shreveport and Chicago, high-level government espionage, and international terrorism.
