Editorial Reviews
Product Description
How Democrats and Republicans alike used the IRS to accomplish political goals during the 1960s and early 1970s. Seemingly innocuous names like Operation Leprechaun and Project Tradewinds, together with an array of intelligence and surveillance activities, formed a pattern of abuse that threatened the foundations of American politcal culture. Based upon mind-boggling research...a monumental study.... The book will likely have a significant impact on how this key government agency and its role in American history is evaluated in the future. --Lewis L. gould. Powerful, trenchant, and ultimately wise. --Stanley I. Kutler
