In 1993, Monte Finkelstein filed what would become one of the
longest-running requests for government records in history. Eager to
complete his book on the relationship between the Allies and the Sicilian
mafia during World War II, the community-college professor submitted a
Freedom of Information Act request with the National Archives.

Five years later and still waiting for a response, Finkelstein published
his book without the documents. “To be honest, I gave up,” he said. “I just
surrendered. From my point of view, it was a bureaucratic nightmare.”
