One of the most fascinating law enforcement agencies in the world is the FBI. From the J. Edgar Hoover days to the present, the Bureau has investigated the most famous cases, including, mobsters, gangs, bank robbers, and terrorism. They have also received a few black eyes, including the Waco siege and the Ruby Ridge case.
In Top Cases of the FBI, RJ Parker captured 12 of those cases and prepared case files on these criminals, up to and including their sentencing or demise.
These cases include:
- John Dillinger and his Gang of Bank Robbers
- Mobster John Gotti
- Bonnie and Clyde
- Mobster Al Capone
- The Jonestown Massacre
- Oklahoma City Bombing
- The Unabomber
- The 1986 FBI Miami Shootout (In the line of fire)
- Ruby Ridge
- Waco
- Patty Hearst
- The D.C. Beltway Snipers

I would recommend it to someone new to true crime books. If you're into true crime, you will already have read the books on these cases and find the book so-so. Parker is a good writer so I many pick up other books by him now that I know that.If you’ve listened to books by RJ Parker before, how does this one compare?
This is a first and I like his writing style. I'm definately going to read more of his books.What three words best describe David Gilmore’s performance?
He's ok, but not excellent.Do you think Top Cases of The FBI (American Criminal History) needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Only if he gets fresh cases that true crime buffs wouldn't have read about already.Any additional comments?
If you are new to true crime reading, you should check out this book. It will make you want to read more about the cases he talks about.TRUE CRIME BUFFS WILL FIND IT REPETITIVE.

I was surprised that most of their major successes were practically ancient....c'mon, John Dilinger??? Surely there's something more recent. Or is there?Well executed/narration/detail-not stor. I thought

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
If all that was wanted was a quick overview of the cases and a listing of films on the subject, it would be fine. Otherwise, it would be cheaper to use Wikopedia and you might get more detail.What could RJ Parker have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Would you consider the audio edition of Top Cases of The FBI (American Criminal History) to be better than the print version?
Top Cases of The FBI by RJ Parker is fraught with details of twelve notorious criminals and event cases in US History. Criminals such as John Gotti, Al Capone, Bonnie & Clyde and events including Jonestown Massacre, Waco and Ruby Ridge to name a few. Great for my True Crime collection. Highly recommend this book.What about David Gilmore’s performance did you like?
ExcellentAs good as a history book

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Top Cases of The FBI consists of twelve of the most notorious criminals cases involving the FBI, from crime families to events such as Waco Siege and Ruby Ridge (two of the more familiar 'black eyes' the FBI received because of the way they handled the situations).The book is well written and researched. The narrator is very professionally spoken and telling the stories made it quite enticing. I highly recommend this audio format as it's not too long and compared to some of the prices I've seen, it's relatively inexpensive.
What about David Gilmore’s performance did you like?
Very well produced and most enticing. He reads at a good pace. I've downloaded others and some narrators reads slow and drags the story out. Mr. Gilmore done a bravo job.What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
I wasn't aware of the 1986 FBI shootout in Miami which prompted police from changing from revolvers to semi-automatics because several FBI agents were shot in the hand or arm and couldn't reload their weapons.A Compendium of FBI top cases in U.S. history
