print email comment close Freedom of Information Act: John Steinbeck URL: http://foia.fbi.gov/foiaindex/steinbeck.htm Description: Nearly 100 pages of digitized FBI documents on the author John Steinbeck, "never the subject of an FBI investigation, [although] his name came to the FBI's attention on several occasions during the 1940's as a result of his association with communist front groups." Unfortunately, the first several pages, and some others, are difficult or impossible to read. From the Freedom of Information Act site, Federal Bureau of Investigation.
