Synopsis:
A former FBI agent describes her thirteen years with the Bureau, from her training to her role in diverse important missions, the FBI's sexist and discriminatory practices, its lack of cooperation with other law enforcement agencies, and the problems, communications failures, and other deficiencies that have led to scandals, cover-ups, and botched cases.
Review: "A sizzling indictment of the FBI as a dysfunctional organization greatly in need of reform...Dew's work adds depth and perspective to...other accounts [that] analyze FBI management, practices and culture."

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. xviii, 302 pages. Notes. Index. Signed by the author, Rosemary Dew, on the half title page. Signature reads: Best wishes, Rosemary Dew. "Autographed Copy" sticker on front dust jacket. This is a memoir of a female special agent's 13 years with the FBI, an exposé of the Bureau's sexist practices, and a warning about how failings that affect our nation's security are passed from generation to generation of FBI agents. Special Agent Dew views the FBI as a dysfunctional family where those who don't fit the Hoover mold are not welcome. Rosemary Dew, who earned the title of Special Agent of the FBI, was recipient of eight commendations from FBI directors, and was the seventh woman to be named supervisor at FBI headquarters, has opened up the files on the agency and reveals a broken organization rife with discriminatory practices. Dew worked undercover against criminals, spies, and terrorists. She supervised the bureau's international response to the Achille Lauro hijacking and signed the arrest warrant for Abu Abbas. Yet for all her accomplishments, Rosemary Dew remained a "female" agent first and "special" agent second, sexually harassed, and denied the opportunities of male agents. Dew relives her FBI life from the training academy to the most sensitive missions of national security. As her tale unfolds, so do the FBI's many problems, one of them being the bureau's lack of cooperation with other investigative agencies - an attitude instilled by J. Edgar Hoover. Dew makes a powerful call for change and lays out a blueprint for FBI reform. First Carroll & Graf Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing. Seller Inventory # 79099
