"J. Edgar Hoover was a CROOK! The more I read this book the more disgusted I became with Hoover. By the end you can't believe that he got away with all that he did. His abuse of power is enough to turn your stomach. Hoover was director of the FBI for 50 years, a span that went through every major event you can imagine from the end of WWI to the threshold of Watergate and he had his dirty hand in just about all of it. Presidents were scared of him, he terrorized the Kennedy's and MLK, refused to admit the existence of the mafia, publically accused people of being gay when they themselves were not but he in fact was and all that is just scratching the surface of his menance, his thoroughly obscene abuse of office.
This was a compelling read for anyone who is curious about the underbelly of the Federal government."
"Considered by many to be the definitive biography of J. Edgar Hoover. Well written and well researched, this book exposes Hoover and all of his hypocrisy and abuse of power."
"OH Yeah. J Edgar Hoover, the feared and dangerous Head of America's most powerful intelligence agency, who scared Presidents because of secrets the agency held, also spent much of his time hiding his own scarlet secrets. He liked to don full drag and makeup at night and go out picking up younger men.
Read, laugh outrageously aloud and then ponder the consequences of what we rarely ever find out about the people who rule our lives and the world in which we live.
Frightening, true and a definitive can't put down book"
