Publisher Description

This is a fully documented inside examination of the Internal Revenue Service, in many ways the largest and most powerful of all federal agencies, and also the agency whose competent function is most essential to our democracy. The book’s appearance in 1989 sparked a public furor and major legislation attempting to redress the IRS’ many abuses of power, both political and bureaucratic. The book will be a relevant handbook as long as the agency remains a towering presence in American life.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

An award-winning investigative reporter offers an inside look at the country's most powerful government agency. Burnham describes the IRS's internal processes, its methods of gathering data on taxpayers, improper uses of such information and abuses of power, such as its meddling in politics through targeting of activist groups.
