The Russians are Coming!
By Vern Countryman
The FBI in Our Open Society
by Harry Overstreet, by Bonaro Overstreet
Norton, 400 pp., $6.95
Despite its broad title, this is a very narrow book. It has two themes: (1) All criticism of the FBI to date has been largely based on a distortion of the record. (2) In the opinion of the Overstreets, no criticism of the FBI is warranted. The development of these themes reveals that the Overstreets, themselves are capable of considerable distortion, and that they know very little about the FBI.
