I’ve just finished reading Ronald Kessler’s new book “The Secrets of the FBI.”  Like most “secrets of …” books, there is really no way for us to authoritatively confirm or dispute the accuracy or completeness of the “secrets” he purports to reveal.

I was very surprised to read Kessler’s material about technical tactical operations.   That subset of investigations is usually not discussed publicly.

As required by the publisher’s formula for selling books, there were elements of sex, intrigue, humor, and screw-ups.  Overall, however, the book was fun and interesting to read.  One of the better reviews of Kessler’s book was done by The Washington Independent Review of Books.  The last line of that review reads, “Some readers of Kessler’s book will hope that this is part of an FBI disinformation program.”  Could be.
