Surveillance in America provides a historical exploration of FBI
surveillance practices and policies since 1920 based on recently
declassified FBI files. Using the new information available through
these documents, Ivan Greenberg sheds light on the activities and
beliefs of top FBI officials as they develop and implement
surveillance practices. Paying particular attention to the uses of
the media, Greenberg provides a thorough reconsideration of the
Watergate scandal and the role of W. Mark Felt as "Deep Throat." He
exposes new evidence which suggests that Felt led a faction at the
FBI that worked together to bring down President Nixon. The book
concludes with an in-depth treatment of surveillance practices
since the year 2000. He considers the question of "surveillance as
harassment" and looks at the further erosion of privacy. stemming
from Obama's counter-terror policies which extend those of the Bush
Administration's second term. The startling increase in
surveillance since the events of September 11th, reveal the extent
to which America is losing the battle for civil liberties.
