This book is really a compilation of the actual IRS documents showing the creation, purpose, actions, players and attempted dismantling of a secret intelligence gathering group within the IRS. Chaired by Senator Sam Ervin, Jr the Congressional Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights investigates how and why a secret intelligence group formed within the nation's tax collection agency. The congressional committee concluded that the IRS Special Service Staff interfered with the tax collection mission of the IRS and that this surveillance had nothing to do with taxes. It was political. The investigation preface, summary and conclusion take a small portion of the pages. Most of this book are the documents. During this investigation, IRS Commissioner Donald C. Alexander orders the dissolution of this secret group (included). However, you will find that this group continues to operate within the IRS in complete disregard to the Ervin Subcommittee and the wishes of former Commissioner Alexander.
