Hilarious - because it's true

There aren't many copies around but well worth the price. I only heard about this book during my 25 year career and finally got my own copy a few years ago. By the way, Special Agents in Charge don't have stress...supervisors have stress. The best (Agent) jobs in the office are Special Agent in Charge and (Street) Agent. It's still a great organization, respected internationally by every other law enforcement agency, and...built by Mr. Hoover.

Great Insight into the FBI

I never quite understood the environment and the stress FBI agents and more interestingly Special Agents in Charge worked in. This book was very insightful.

No Left Turns: The FBI in Peace and War

This is the finest book written from the insider's view of the FBI during the Hoover Administration. It lists many of Hoover's quirks and gives insight into the organizational strengths and weaknesses up to the time of his death. This book would have never been written while Hoover was alive. Joe Schott provided a true classic that should be read by anyone in the criminal justice system, especially the FBI. A real collector's item.

nothing's changed

Read it twenty years ago, thought it couldn't be true. I found out that unfortunately, it still is...
