Most people believe the Federal Bureau of Investigation began under
J. Edgar Hoover in the 1920s or 1930s. Many also naturally assume
it was developed for the express purpose of fighting crime.
However, the reality is very different. The reality is it began
years earlier, in 1908, under President Theodore Roosevelt. In The
Birth of the FBI: Teddy Roosevelt, the Secret Service, and the
Fight Over America's Premier Law Enforcement Agency, Willard Oliver
details the political fight that led to the birth of America's
premier law enforcement agency. Roosevelt was concerned about
conservation and one issue he wanted enforced were the fraudulent
land deals being perpetrated by many people, including some members
of Congress. When he began using the Secret Service to investigate
these crimes, Congress blocked him from doing so. The end result of
this political spat was Roosevelt's creation of the FBI, which
heightened the political row between the two branches of government
in the final year of Roosevelt's presidency. The truth of the
matter is, the premier law enforcement agency in the United States
was actually created because of a political fight between the
executive and legislative branches of government. The Birth of the
FBI reveals the true story behind the birth of the FBI and provides
some useful insight into an important part of our American history.
