There are intriguing stories that come out of the history, operations, challenges and defining moments of the FBI. This has inspired numerous writers to spin fiction tales and non-fiction accounts of their experiences or those of others. Some are rubbished as imaginative propaganda as some FBI books try to create a juicy story from carefully guarded bureau secrets.
Tim Weiner has penned Enemies which traces the history of this institution over the years. He gives a personal account having worked for the department and CIA throughout his career.

Natalie Zemon Davis takes a historical perspective that is inspired by a challenge at the supreme court that was filed by her husband. The case was filed in 1959 and sort to challenge the work of the house committee on Non-American activities. The idea developed when she was challenged to reflect on defining moments in life after receiving the National Humanities Medal from the president. Her book is entitled How FBI Turned Me On.
Fiction has also been inspired by the operations of Federal Bureau of Investigation. In Point Blank, two agents, Sherlock and Savich are married and working on a murder and kidnapping case. The kidnappers have a personal vendetta with Savich. Their next victim happens to be Sherlock.

The combination of what is known and the unknown makes books about the bureau more interesting. There always is a juicy part that is not known to the public that is revealed in non-fiction writing. Fictional titles seek to offer explanations or speculate about the goings on in an institution charged with maintaining secrecy.
