Whistleblowers Who Broke Into The FBI 43 Years Ago Finally Reveal Themselves

An amazing new book by journalist Betty Medsger reveals for the first time exactly how anonymous activists who broke into an FBI office, took every document they had, and sent them to the press, which exposed the highly illegal and unconstitutional programs. The New York Times has a front-page article and video on the incredible story, but we also obtained an advance copy of the book, and highly recommend it to readers, both as a lesson from the past and an analogy for the present.
