About this listen

No time to read? Get the main key insights from this summary of Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard’s Killing the Mob in just a short listen.

A few key insights from Chapter 1:

1. In 1924, John Edgar Hoover, a law school graduate, possessed an exceptional work ethic that led President Calvin Coolidge to put him in charge of America’s first national law enforcement agency, the Bureau of Investigation, BOI.

2. The BOI was known for being a corrupt agency, which led Congress to limit its powers. Its agents were not allowed to carry weapons, and had to call either the US Marshals or the local police when it came to taking a suspect into custody.

3. Hoover immediately fired agents previously accused of taking bribes, and ensured that the ones who were left were mentally and physically fit for their job.

4. The Crime Control Acts of 1934 were passed, stating that if a person kills or assaults a federal officer, transports kidnapped persons, or robs a bank, they would be subject to federal law and could be charged with federal crimes.
