Federal Surveillance of the Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño

This collection highlights the FBI’s efforts to disrupt the activities of the largest of the Puerto Rican independence parties, Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño, and compromise their effectiveness.

These documents provide invaluable additions to the recorded history of Puerto Rico. Coverage: 1941 - 1982.
