Book Synopsis
Wanted: The FBI I Once Knew offers an insider's look into America's top law enforcement agency, revealing a significant shift in the FBI's mission, methods, and ethical standards. In this compelling book, Chris Piehota-who served the FBI for 25 years and retired as a senior executive-pulls back
the curtain on the agency's transformation from a traditional crime-fighting force to a national security and domestic intelligence powerhouse.
Piehota examines the critical challenges the FBI now faces, from balancing privacy and surveillance to preserving public trust amid allegations of bias and misconduct. He presents a candid exploration of how political polarization, social tensions, and evolving security threats have tested the agency's
principles and effectiveness.
Whether you are a student of law enforcement, an organizational leader, or a concerned citizen, this book offers essential insights into the FBI's current state and future. Piehota sheds light on what the FBI once stood for, the setbacks it now grapples with, and what it must do to regain the trust that is
defined by its motto: fidelity, bravery, and integrity. This book is a must-read for anyone invested in the delicate balance between national security and civil liberties in today's complex world.
