About this listen
Be the FBI Agent in training under J. Edgar Hoover and run the gauntlet of Machine Gun Kelly, Baby Face Nelson and the Barker Karpis Gang. Step back into downtown Chicago of the 1930s and retrace the steps of some of America's most notorious mobsters.
True Stories from the Files of the FBI was written by W. Cleon Skousen under the direct supervision of Mr. Hoover himself. These first-hand accounts of actual "do or die" situations were used for decades to train thousands of FBI agents.
In this riveting retelling of "G-men" arresting or killing perpetrators of the country's most violent crimes, learn how the investigations led to clues for the Charles Lindbergh kidnapping case, the Kansas City Massacre, the raids by John Herbert Dillinger and his gang, "Killer" Kinnie Wagner's murder spree, and more.

The US Constitution, a brilliant framework of common-sense rules necessary for self-governance. It works no matter which political party is in power.

In American Marxism, Mark Levin explained how Marxist ideology has invaded our society and culture. In doing so, he exposed the institutions, scholars, and activists leading the revolution. Now, he picks up where he left off: to hold responsible the true malefactors steering our country down the wrong path. Insightful and hard-hitting as ever, Levin proves that since its establishment, the Democrat Party has set out to rewrite history and destroy the foundation of freedom in America.

Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds.

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue - Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is - she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

The must-have companion to Bill O'Reilly's historical docudrama Legends and Lies: The Patriots, an exciting and eye-opening look at the Revolutionary War through the lives of its leaders. The American Revolution was neither inevitable nor a unanimous cause. It pitted neighbors against each other as loyalists and colonial rebels faced off for their lives and futures. These were the times that tried men's souls: No one was on stable ground, and few could be trusted.

A Fascinating Read
While some of the stories dragged on for quite a bit, the overall thrust of the book was engaging and enlightening. Crime is centuries old and same with the mindset. I would recommend it for it's inside perspective on some of the notorious stories and characters of the last century.

Truly fascinating and well written!
What made the experience of listening to True Stories from the Files of the FBI the most enjoyable?
Not a dull moment! I was amazed to hear about the gangsters of the American past. Great details, great description, great storytelling. Turns out, the movies are pretty accurate with their descriptions of mobsters and their dark and wild ways.
What did you like best about this story?
The story about mobster lady Ma Barker was amazing. It was funny how she cared so much about her boys but little about those she robbed.
What does Corey M. Snow bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I think Corey did a good job performing the various characters.
Any additional comments?
I recommend this book to anyone who loves capers and adventure. This book is full of it!

Perfect Audiobook for the History of the FBI
What made the experience of listening to True Stories from the Files of the FBI the most enjoyable?
I really enjoyed the fact these are true stories. Many of the cases I did not know how they ended. I liked how the author presented facts as well.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved all of the characters. One of my favorite sections was about the Barker-Karpis Gang. Nicely done!
Which scene was your favorite?
The scene or section of the book that I was my favorite was the foreword by Paul B. Skousen. I felt that really set the scene and the pace for the entire book. The "clean up America" part was nicely done.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I really had a different time with what happened in the Charles Lindbergh kidnapping. Have a young kid of my own what happened really hit home.
Any additional comments?
True Stories from the Files of the FBI is a wonderful listen. Corey Snow did a great job. It is one of the best true crime books out there.

Best True Crime Story!
Would you listen to True Stories from the Files of the FBI again? Why?
I really enjoyed this book. The detail of what happened and what formed the FBI was very interesting. I understand this book is pro FBI but with some portions used as a training manual I understand that. Each of the stories from Killer Kinnie Wagner to Baby Face Nelson had new information that I did not know.
What did you like best about this story?
What really struck me was the Charles Lindbergh kidnapping. That was a horrible story. I always questions if the case was ever solved but with the evidence provided it made it so I have a good understanding of what happened.
What about Corey M. Snow’s performance did you like?
Corey is a true professional narrator. His voice drew me in. He has the perfect voice for a non-fiction book like this.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
I loved all of the facts from each of the cases. I learned a lot about the background from some of the most interesting criminals in history. This is a great listen!
Any additional comments?
I would not hesitate to listen to this book again for give it to a friend. Well done!

Captivating and enlightening American history!
What did you love best about True Stories from the Files of the FBI?
The stories kept me so captivated that I didn't realize I was learning American history!
What was one of the most memorable moments of True Stories from the Files of the FBI?
Every story (and there were many) had a different "flavor," but the one that stands out in my mind was how the FBI took out the 8 Nazi saboteurs so quickly, that the ink on their forged travel documents was probably still wet. Baby Face Nielsen was also good!
What about Corey M. Snow’s performance did you like?
Magnificent job. His voice matches the era of "the greatest generation," during which these stories take place. Excellent delivery.
If you could give True Stories from the Files of the FBI a new subtitle, what would it be?
American Exceptionalism - Fights and victories which demonstrate the reliability of the American form of government and its people.
Any additional comments?
Easy to listen to this audio book - about stories and information that I thought I knew, but realized I'd only heard names and vague references. This book gives the juicy details of the lives and stories about people larger than life, in American history, that we should know.
