“The myth of the FBI existed and, transforming, still exists. Any exposure is not the purpose of this book, but only an attempt to show how the “epoch-making” events in the history of the Bureau actually unfolded. And the goal is not an idle conversation about the affairs of the intelligence service of a dangerously powerful, but still foreign country, but about our own life in a modern, contradictory and imperfect world - and where there is a completely different relationship between society and the state." According to the author, high-profile stories related to famous assassinations, as well as major terrorist attacks (say, explosions organized by Arab terrorists) set out in this book are, by and large, not so much the mistakes or weaknesses of the FBI, but rather the costs of the structure of American society itself, which is internally extremely heterogeneous and with great potential for armed violence. Therefore, the author tried to show not only the negative sides of this special service, but also how the FBI really stands for protecting the security of the United States and how effective its activities are.
