Under the guise of "homeland security" the US government has made unprecedented legal attacks on the civil liberties and civil rights of the people of this country. From immgrants to librarians, from union activists to anyone who talks on the telephone, covert and overt attacks on the civil rights of Americans continue to grow. Their target is not "terrorists" but against the threat of working class resistance to the growing attacks on living conditions. They are afraid the entire working class will follow the example immigrants are setting by coming into direct action against them, rather than depending on the Republicans and Democrats who are in the pockets of the rich.

This book documents the historic victory the Socialist Workers Party won in its suit against the US government's illegal Cointelpro attacks on the SWP and on the trade union, Black liberation, women's right, and antiVietnam war movements the SWP was a part of. Read these documents, and you will see that the FBI and the other federal agencies have no concern for "law and order," or "terrorism." Their real concern is to do whatever they can get away with inside and outside the law to disrupt struggles in the interests of working people.

Read this book so you will know not only of these crimes of the FBI and the government in the past, but so you will know how to fight them now and in the future.
