Daniel Richman traces the roots of the Justice Department, a juggernaut in the eyes of the public but in fact a precarious entity that cannot function without local support. The first history of federal law enforcement before 1870, Fragile Authority shows how the DOJ replicates—for better and for worse—the limitations of its forebears.
