The Pinkerton Files Five-Book Bundle (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Publication of this material sparked keen interest. Academics across the country have contested the truth of Pinkerton’s account. Coverage in the media has, for the most part, been skewed toward reporting on the controversy rather than the actual content. This attention prompted the Justice Department to seize the entire collection, interrupting an archival project that has run without pause since the 1950s. They claim that government relations may be damaged if more of Pinkerton’s controversial claims are made public. I find that outlandish and have submitted an objection to Justice’s interference in Library operations. Access to the material will be barred until the conflict between our offices is resolved.
