Douglas M. Charles (born 1971) is assistant professor of history at The Pennsylvania State University, Greater Allegheny campus (a.k.a., Penn State Greater Allegheny ) in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. He is a specialist in modern American history --- in the fields of political, intelligence, foreign relations, and gay & lesbian history --- and is the author of numerous articles on the history of the FBI and American intelligence. He is also the author of the book J. Edgar Hoover and the Anti-interventionists: FBI Political Surveillance and the Rise of the Domestic Security State, 1939-1945 (Columbus: The Ohio State University Press, 2007). ISBN 978-0-8142-1061-1 The book examines the FBI's surveillance of President Roosevelt's "isolationist" foreign policy critics prior to and during the Second World War as well as the bureau's liaison with British intelligence. It illustrates that the FBI began widespread intelligence investigations, as opposed to criminal ones, dating from 1936 and began to serve as the White House's intelligence arm not with the onset of the Cold War but prior to the Second World War both offering it political intelligence reports as well as responding to requests for information. Given this fact, Charles has described the period as the "domestic security state," an important developmental stepping stone to the larger national security state after the war. Thereafter, this type of political surveillance activity, and resultant civil liberties abuses, vis-a-vis the White House would increase over subsequent decades.
