Winner of the World Book Awards 2012

One of the most fascinating Law Enforcement Agencies in the world is the FBI. From the J. Edgar Hoover days to present, the Bureau has investigated the most famous cases, including, mobsters, gangs, bank robbers, and terrorism. They have also received a few black eyes including, Waco Siege, and Ruby Ridge.

"From the roaring 20s to modern days, RJ Parker has written the true life events of cases that made major headlines all over the country. Each chapter in this book, is devoted to the biography (or background) of famous mobsters and horrendous events that the FBI has handled since the beginning of the agency. Well researched and well written, these case histories will keep you turning the page. For those of us who love true crime stories, this book should not be passed over - as you will learn details that many others have missed."

In Top Cases of The FBI, RJ Parker captured twelve of those cases and prepared case files on these criminals up to and including their sentencing or demise.

These cases include:

John Dillinger and his Gang of Bank Robbers
Mobster John Gotti
Bonnie and Clyde
Mobster Al Capone
The Jonestown Massacre
Oklahoma City Bombing
The Unabomber
The 1986 FBI Miami Shootout (In the line of fire)
Ruby Ridge
Waco
Patty Hearst
The D.C. Beltway Snipers

From the file of The Jonestown Massacre -

Although it is widely known as the Jonestown Massacre, the series of strange events that resulted in the deaths of 912 people in the middle of a jungle in Guyana were, for the most part, a mass suicide. The majority of the more than 900 people who died there on November 18th, 1978, took their own lives willingly. Those few who had second thoughts either got lucky and sneaked out of sight through the remote jungle, were shot dead, or were forced to drink the poison by the cult's guards. It was an act of "revolutionary suicide" that left the world in shock.
