Bob’s new book, My Non-Political FBI: From Hoover to a Violent America, documents some of his FBI and post-FBI stories and adventures but also relates his insights into the major changes to the FBI through the years from the early days of its first director J. Edgar Hoover. Many will find especially relevant and important his theory of the how and why violent crime is reaching epic levels and police are using excessive, and even deadly, force earlier and more frequently.
