Abstract
"From the Red Scare of 1919-1920 to the McCarthy period of the 1950's to the COINTELPRO era of the 1960's. The FBI has operated primarily as America's political police. Set against this sordid background, the complex of FBI Operations conducted against the Black Panther Party and the American Indian Movement, including murder, kidnapping, and a range of other illegal activities, provides a shocking indictment of the lawlessness of the " law enforcers. " Agents of repression will undoubtedly serve as the benchmark text for those concerned with understanding not only what happened to the Black Panthers and the American Indian Movement, but the functional reality of Americas Political police"--Amazon.
