Even more of this dangerous history is now available in Protectors of Privilege. And some of it is still going on (Nat Hentoff). An incisive and depressingly detailed account of the government's willingness to use police departments to quell dissent (Gerry O'Sullivan, The Philadelphia Inquirer). A well-documented history of police spy units across the country and a compilation of their most significant abuses (James Tuohy, Chicago Sun-Times). An excellently researched, thoughtful and well-detailed study of police spying. As Donner points out, the squads are not a recent invention. One of his most important contributions is tracing the history of the Red Squads, showing how deeply rooted they are in American political, social, and economic life (Bill Boyarsky, Los Angeles Times Book Review). A comprehensive and well-documented study of the political environment that spawned repression; police target selection and operations; the relationship of the squads to the power structure; the role of the press: the methods, assumptions, and career aspirations of ambitious police 'Big Men,' and the factors that effectively brought an end to the squads (Pamela D. Delaney, Political Science Quarterly). XX Frank Donner is a prominent civil liberties attorney and the author of The Un-Americans and The Age of Surveillance. N° de réf. du vendeur 003217
