Sullivan's myth-shattering book, written with an NBC producer/writer, details the disastrous consequences of ''unlimited power married to gross incompetence, ignorance, and abnormality'' in our country's most powerful law-enforcement agency. Paperback. First Printing 1982. 286 pp . Very light scuffinG. Clean and tight.
