Now in Paper!""Seeing Red""Federal Campaigns Against Black Militancy; 1919-1925Theodore Kornweibel; Jr.A gripping; painstakingly documented account of a neglected chapter in the history of American political intelligence.""Kornweibel is an adept storyteller who admits he is drawn to the role of the historian-as-detective....What emerges is a fascinating tale of secret federal agents; many of them blacks; who were willing to take advantage of the color of their skin to spy upon others of their race. And it is a tale of sometimes desperate and frequently angry government officials; including J. Edgar Hoover; who were willing to go to great lengths to try to stop what they perceived as threats to continued white supremacy."" -- Patrick S.
