Casts from the Past

Saturday, July 26, 2008 marks the 100th anniversary of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In honor of this celebration, the FBI has published a book entitled, “The FBI: A Centennial History, 1908-2008″.

You can purchase hard or soft copies from the Government Printing Office or you can read the PDF version available on the FBI’s site for free.

Also, you can read some fun trivia at the The Top Ten Myths in FBI History. Most of these are believable, however despite their claims, I still think they have Tesla’s Death Ray. (It’s locked up in the same warehouse as the Ark of the Covenant.)

In the FBI’s 100 years, 51 Special Agents have given their lives while performing their duties. Enjoy this special video tribute by jjlingjunjie
