Here is the hidden history of America’s hundred-year war on terror. The FBI has fought against terrorists, spies, anyone it deemed subversive—and sometimes American presidents. The FBI’s secret intelligence and surveillance techniques have created a tug-of-war between protecting national security and infringing upon civil liberties. It is a tension that strains the very fabric of a free republic.

Tim Weiner has won the Pulitzer Prize for his reporting and writing on secret intelligence and national security. As a correspondent for The New York Times, he covered the Central Intelligence Agency in Washington and terrorism in Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Sudan, and other nations. Enemies is his fourth book.

Weiner won the National Book Award for Legacy of Ashes, his history of the CIA. His new book is an equally penetrating investigation of the FBI, with particular focus on its secret intelligence operations. Generally thought of as a kind of police force, the Bureau has in fact long carried on the surveillance activities of a national security agency.
