Burnham, David ABOVE THE LAW: Secret Deals, Political Fixes, and Other Misadventures of the U.S. Department of Justice

Remainder mark on bottom edge. Inside is clean and excellent. Remainder mark on bottom edge. Inside is clean and excellent. From Publishers Weekly: Former New York Times reporter Burnham, who has investigated the Internal Revenue Service (A Law unto Itself), here offers a meandering, anecdotal survey of scandal and questionable practices, both past and present, within the vast U.S. Department of Justice. Justice includes not only agencies such as the FBI, the DEA and the INS but also the Attorney General and the 93 U.S. attorneys distributed around the country. The author's main conclusion: the department remains underscrutinized, which allows this "chaotic, slipshod, almost medieval institution" to ignore certain responsibilities and follow political pressure. Among his arguments: federal officials exaggerate crime statistics to promote their political agendas; the availability of high-tech equipment will allow federal gumshoes to act on "ever higher levels of official paranoia"; a mix of class bias, political deals and bad laws has kept the department from truly prosecuting white-collar crime. Though unwieldy, this book remains a potent call for reform. NOTE: Publisher overstock books may have a remainder mark. A remainder mark is a mark on the bottom or top edge that is added just to assure that it is not returned to the store! Orders normally ship in 1-2 business days depending on what time payment is completed.
