My FBI: Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton, and Fighting the War on Terror
My FBI: Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton, and Fighting the War on Terror is an autobiography describing the career path of Louis J. Freeh, who was a former director of the FBI. Prior to his post as FBI Director, Freeh had been an FBI agent, a U.S. prosecuting attorney in the Southern District of New York, and a federal judge. He was appointed to his judgeship by President Bush (41), then appointed Director by President Clinton. That was a rather rare occurrence, for a man to receive presidential appointments from presidents of both political parties. Freeh’s allegiances, however, seemed clearly aligned with the Republicans.
I did not enjoy reading this biography. In fact, I disliked it intensely. Freeh spent too much time describing his version of the reasons that Clinton snubbed him. The author’s political biases soured me to the rest of his message. Because I did not like it, I would not recommend it to anyone.
